JULIA CHILD'S SHRIMP OR LOBSTER OR CRAB QUICHE

Julia Child's Shrimp or Lobster or Crab Quiche image

A delicious recipe for a shrimp quiche. It is a great quiche that isn't too eggy, I have only made it with shrimp but I can only imagine how good it is with lobster or crab. I also made this easily into mini quiches by halving the recipe. Also, the egg mixture can be made the day before and poured into the quiche shell right before baking. Also it can be served hot or cold.

I was given this about 16 years ago from my friend who loved to cook. He was on the University Rugby Team so I guess real men do eat quiche.
