Submitted by Chef at Heart

"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."

We had this for dinner tonight. I have 2 suggestions though and would cook the onion and capsicum (bell pepper) before adding to quiche. I used both tinned crab meat and some cooked prawns (shrimp) and about 1/4 teaspoon of tarragon. I also used low fat evaporated milk which is why I think it took an hour to cook. I used a 1/2 portion of my own recipe #177343 for the pie shell which I blind baked for 10 minutes and then a further 2 minutes but if using fat reduced evaporated milk would reduce this cooking time. Thank you Chef at Heart for the first quiche I have had without cheese and enjoyed. Made for Please Review My Recipe - a game of tag.
