Blind baking<\/a> pie crust gives the crust a head start in the oven. That way, the base of the pie is fully baked (and crispy!) without any risk of overcooking the filling.<\/p>\nHow do you prevent a watery crab quiche?<\/h3>\n Quiche filling can become runny if the filling contains too much moisture. We cook the onions and peppers before adding them to the filling so this crab quiche doesn\u2019t turn out watery. If you decide to add extra vegetables, cook them fully to allow most of their liquid to evaporate.<\/p>\n
Should you use heavy cream or milk in quiche recipes?<\/h3>\n You can make quiche with heavy cream or milk\u2014or use half-and-half cream, as we do in this recipe. Quiches made with heavy cream can be very rich, which could overpower the delicate crab. Milk, on the other hand, creates a thinner, less flavorful quiche. Half-and-half cream offers the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
