i can cook.

sometimes when i get off work at 6:00 am, i head to my friend's house and we make breakfast. one morning, not too long ago, i showed up and i made this:

crab and swiss quiche.

i know this picture doesn't make it look very appetizing, but trust me, it's probably one of the best things i make. awhile ago, my sister and i bought a huge package of crab at costco and split it. i wasn't sure what to make with the crab, so i googled crab recipes and this is one that i found. there are lots of variations of this recipe, but i stuck with the simplest. and now i am going to share it with you.

crab and swiss quiche

2 eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup milk
½ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon cornstarch
½ pound imitation crab meat
1½ cups shredded swiss cheese
1 9-inch unbaked pie crust*

preheat oven to 350 degrees.

in a medium bowl, mix together eggs, milk, mayonnaise and cornstarch. mix in the imitation crab and swiss cheese. pour into pie shell.

bake in preheated oven until a knife inserted into center of the quiche comes out clean, about 30 to 40 minutes.

*the first couple of times i made this, i used an unbaked pie crust and it turned out okay. however, the last time i made it, i used a fork to poke some holes in the bottom of the crust and i baked it for about five to seven minutes before i poured in the mixture. it turned out so much better. i highly recommend baking the crust a little first.
