Ingredients

  • 1 9" Frozen Pie crust, kept chilled in refrigerator
  • 3/4 cup (3 ounces) grated Gruyère cheese
  • 8 ounces lump crabmeat, shell pieces removed and drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 4 cups coarsely chopped spinach
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried tarragon
  • 1/8 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1/2 cup egg substitute

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°.

Line chilled pie crust with aluminum foil, and fill with dried beans, rice, or pie weights. Bake until pastry is light golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on a baking sheet while making quiche filling.

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté 4 minutes. Add spinach and next 4 ingredients (spinach through pepper); cook 2 minutes or until spinach wilts.

Add crabmeat to cooled pie crust. Sprinkle cheese over crabmeat. Arrange spinach mixture over crabmeat.

Combine half and half and egg substitute; stir well with a whisk. Pour over spinach mixture. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean; let stand 10 minutes.
