Chopped green onions and sweet red pepper bring a bit of color to this golden entree. The creamy filling features imitation crabmeat and Swiss cheese, making it a morning mainstay that brunch guests will clear their plates for. Ingredients:
1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches) |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded swiss cheese, divided |
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper |
1/4 cup chopped green onions |
1 tablespoon butter |
3 eggs |
1-1/2 cups half-and-half cream |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
3/4 cup flaked imitation crabmeat, chopped |
Directions:
1. Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 5 minutes; remove foil. Bake 5 minutes longer. Immediately sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese over crust.
2. Reduce heat to 375°. In a skillet, saute red pepper and onions in butter until tender.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, salt and pepper. Stir in the crab, red pepper mixture and remaining cheese. Pour into crust.
4. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6-8 servings.
