Crab Quiche

Feed crab to teenage boys? Is that affordable? Every now and then Walgreens has a sale on canned crab that I can't pass up. They are about 6oz (same as regular tuna can) - I use this for this recipe and it's excellent! As for pie crust, try Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts, they are pretty good and of course EASY. I keep them on hand especially for Quiche! Unless you have the talent to make your own, frozen just doesn't seem as good.

3/4 C mayonnaise
2 T flour
3 eggs
3/4 C evaporated milk
2 cans crab meat - drained well (about 1 C)
1 1/2 C shredded cheese (swiss or Monterey jack - combo of mozzarella & cheddar is fine)
1/2 C green onions, chopped
2 tbsp parsley (fresh or dry)
Optional: a couple tablespoons of chopped roasted red pepper adds a nice touch if you have it on hand
9" unbaked pie crust

Preheat oven to 350. In a medium bowl, beat together eggs, mayonnaise, flour, and milk until thoroughly blended. Stir in crab, cheese, and onion. Spread into pie shell. Take strips of foil about 2" wide to wrap around the edges of your pie crust so they don't burn, remove the foil about the last 15 minutes of baking. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
