Crabmeat Quiche With Whole Wheat Crust
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
- 1/2 pound gruyere cheese
- 6 ounces crabmeat
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 3/4 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1/2 tablespoon butter melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup whole milk Do not use skim, it will not firm up when cooking
- Combine flour and salt
- Cut in shortening until uniformly crumbly, one quarter cup at a time
- Add 1 Tbsp of cold water to one area at a time, mixing it in gently with a fork until absorbed before adding the next Tbsp. Do not over mix. You will need about 5-6 Tablespoons of water.
- When moist enough, gently gather the dough into a ball and pat together. Roll out and place in a 9 inch pie plate. (I don't chill the dough first)
- Thinly slice cheese and layer in unbaked crust
- Spread crabmeat over the cheese
- Beat eggs with 1 Tbsp flour, seasoning and lemon zest until frothy ( about 1 minute).. Stir in milk and melted butter. Pour into pie shell.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 40-45 minutes. It is done when it domes up in the middle and the center is of custard consistency.
