Shrimp Quiche


9-inch pie shell, partially baked or, if unbaked, brushed with egg white
2 T. shallots
1 T. butter
6-8 ounces cooked, chopped shrimp (or tiny whole shrimp)
1 T. flour
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese, divided
3 eggs
1 C. light cream
Pepper
Dash nutmeg

Have pie shell ready. Saute shallots in butter for 1 minute. Add shrimp. 

Skrimp skrimp skrimp!

Mix in flour. Sprinkle ½ C. of shredded Swiss cheese in the bottom of the pie shell. Spread with shrimp mixture and top with another ½ C. of shredded Swiss cheese. 

It's been too long since I've had a nice big bite of Swiss cheese.

Beat eggs with cream, pepper, and a dash of nutmeg. Pour into the shell. Bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes until set. 

All done! (Apologies for my lack of skill with pie crusts, but I think it turned out nice-looking regardless.)

My Rating: 4/5 "It's really comforting comfort food. The quiche is nice and mild, but the flavors are still soothing and delicious. Plus you get to feel fancy because you made a quiche."
