San Francisco Seafood Quiche

Leslie in Texas's Note:

If you like seafood, this is the quiche for you! Serve it with a mixed fruit salad or a green salad and a glass of good white wine! Originally from an old cookbook of mine. I especially like the fact that it makes two quiches- one to eat and one to freeze for later!

2. In another bowl, combine mayonnaise,flour,wine, and eggs.
3. Mix all ingredients together well, and divide the mixture between the two pie shells.

I have always wanted to make quiche, but was afraid to try. Then, a friend asked me to make it for Saturday brunch and I did. I can never say no when someone asks me to cook:) This recipe seemed perfect and it was. I added scallops, extra shrimp, an extra egg, used lump crab meat,a bit more wine because of the extra ingredients. Oh, I used gruyere instead of swiss. My friend was very pleased with the outcome and so was I. If you love quiche and seafood then this is certainly a recipe to try.

If I were the only one rating this I would have given it a 5, but DH and DS didnt like it as much as DD and I did. They said its not bad but not something they would request. I on the other hand thought it was GREAT. I loved the seafood in this, and the wine with the egg was a nice change of taste. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

While the quiche baked up beautifully, we found it to be quite bland. I did add some salt and pepper and some Old Bay seasoning and it still needed more. Also, we found the wine taste to be too strong. Next time I think I will reduce the wine, maybe add some cream and definitely add more spices and seasonings. May try adding some Dijon mustard and dill.... Will have to play with it. Good base though...
