CRAB QUICHE

1 pastry shell (9 inch) partially baked
1 tbs butter
2 tbs shallots, minced
1 1/3 cup crab meat
1 tbs flour
1 1/2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded and divided
3 eggs
1 cup half and half
1/2 tsp salt
dash white pepper or hot pepper sauce
dash nutmeg
minced parsley

Have a 9 inch pastry shell partially baked. Saute shallots in butter until tender, about two minutes. Mix with crab meat and flour and set aside. Sprinkle 3/4 cup the cheese in the pie shell, then spread with the crab mixture. Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup cheese over crab meat. Beat eggs, cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and parsley until mixed. Pour into pie shell over crab mixture. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Serves 6 to 8. In our house it serves 4 and maybe six in a pinch.
