Chesapeake Crab Quiche

 
 
I'm transitioning into Fall by using my sunflower plates that I bought on clearance from Pier 1, over a year ago.  My Mom always thought sunflowers reminded her of Fall, and I'm listening to her.   I love these clear handled flatware from Ross.  Drinking glasses just have to be canning jars for this homespun table setting.
 


I made these napkins with the extra fabric from my table runner, and they're tied with burlap ribbon with some sunflowers tucked in.
 
 
My faux sunflowers make up the centerpiece topiary, tied with more burlap ribbon.
 


Back in the summer, I won this fabulous giveaway from  Mary at Home is Where the Boat is!!  Mary has the most inspirational blog and is such a generous person.  I was going to coordinate with Sarah at Hyacinths for the Soul for a party, but caring for my sweetheart took precedence.  Thank you Mary, for the beautiful gift!!  Mary also sent along some culinary lavender, which you can see tucked into the back right hand corner.  Taking a whiff of the lavender is so calming...Ahhh!  You can read about Sarah's giveaway win from Mary here. 

 

The detail on the Blue Crab Stoneware is just amazing!  I'll be using this beautiful dish for many recipes. 


The delicious quiche recipe was included in the recipe book.  It is sooo tasty!

1 can Bay Beyond Crabmeat
Quiche and spinach salad...YUM!
1 nine-inch pie shell
2 T. onion, chopped
2 T. butter
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup Swiss cheese, grated
1/8 t. ground nutmeg
2 eggs, slightly beaten

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Sauté onion in butter.  Whisk eggs, cream and sautéed onion.  Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper (if desired).  Spread drained crabmeat and cheese in bottom of pie shell.  Pour egg mixture over top of crab and cheese.  Bake 30-40 minutes or until golden, 
Optional:  garnish the top with Chesapeake Bay Seasoning. 

Serves 4

  2. MMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy!

    Love your sunflower plates too- sure add some awesome colour, don't they?

    Funny, I must be tired - when I read "Cheasapeake" my mind's eye saw "Cheapskate."

    LOL. I think I am losing my mind.

    Hugs.

  13. Kitty, your sunflower plates are a happy nod to fall. The quiche looks like a perfect dish served with a side salad. This is my kind of meal! I know you will enjoy the quiche dish. I'm certainly enjoying my large pitcher. It's be used to server drinks and to hold beautiful bouquets. It's a great piece!

    Have a wonderful week, Kitty...

  21. Sunflowers mean fall to me too and I love the plates you picked up. Such a generous giveaway won and the quiche sounds yummy. I'm impressed with the ruffled pastry around the dish.
    I have never thought to use crabmeat in a quiche but will consider it the next time I make one.

  30. Nothing better than sunflowers and gingham, happy, happy, happy!
    That quiche looks great. I like that is doesn't have Old Bay in it. I could use crumbled bacon on top instead. It looks great!
    Thanks for joining in, I know your heart is not in it, but good for you for keep on keepin' on!
