The Dungeness Crab gets its common name from the town of Dungeness, Washington, now called Old Town Dungeness, where the first commercial harvesting of the crab was done. The Dungeness Crab is widely considered one of the most favorful crabs on the market. Often eaten from the shell, it is also popular in pasta dishes, crab cocktails, and quiche.
This is a great recipe for shucked dungeness crab meat or any leftover king crab meat. The Crab Quiche blends the flavor of the crab into a perfect lunch or dinner starter course.
Ingredients:
1-lb Dungeness Crab Meat, thawed if frozen, save some larger leg or claw pieces for presentation
4 large eggs
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon Tom Douglas Crab Cake Mix or Seafood Rub seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 oz coarsely grated Monterey Jack cheese (1/2 cup)
2 oz coarsely grated Swiss cheese (1/2 cup)
1 Pre-baked Pie Crust
