Crustless Crab Quiche image

This is a recipe that I put together because I wanted a low-carb, high protein dish with crab. It is baked the same way as a quiche, except there is no crust.

Time 55m

Yield 1 quiche, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 eggs (I use egg substitute)
1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk
1/2 low-fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 1/2 cups gruyere cheese, grated
1 (13 ounce) can crabmeat, drained
Tabasco sauce, to taste (I use 3-4 "shots")
3 green onions, chopped
1 cup mushroom, sliced
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Heat up a non-stick skillet. Place 1 tablespoon canola oil in heated skillet. Sauté sliced mushrooms on medium heat until browned and soft. Take off heat and set aside.
  • Grate the Gruyere cheese, set aside.
  • Chop the green onions; set aside.
  • Pour 1 tablespoon canola oil into a quiche pan (or deep pie pan) and spread inside the bottom and sides; set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl, add eggs, milk, mayonnaise, cornstarch and Tabasco sauce. Mix using a whisk until smooth.
  • Arrange crab, cheese, green onions and mushrooms in the quiche pan evenly.
  • Pour egg mixture into the pan.
  • Bake in a 350°F oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool 5-10 minutes, slice and serve.
