2. Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Press the dough into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Pierce the dough with a fork and refrigerate until chilled, about 10 minutes.
  2. Place the tart shell on a baking sheet and fit aluminum foil into it. Fill the shell with pie weights or dried beans and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the weights and the foil and reduce the heat to 375 degrees F. Bake until golden and crisp, about 12 minutes more. Let the tart shell cool on a wire rack.
  3. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until firm and just opaque, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, chives, salt and pepper. Arrange the shrimp, red peppers and feta cheese in the baked shell and cover with the egg mixture.
  5. Bake the quiche until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes, then carefully remove the side of the pan and transfer the quiche to a serving platter. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Yield: 6 servings

    Don't give it a bad review because you're a health nut. I actually made this and it came out very well, and was very tasty. I'm sure there is a recipe for fat free tofu salad, or just plain salad for that matter. But, there is a reason that people excerise. You know; the thing that helps to keep the heart attacks away. Idiot.

  • don't be too hasty

    i can understand what you are saying about the high amount of fat - but there are ways to change that. you can buy reduced fat feta, use an egg white instead of the full egg, and buy reduced fat half & half. there are always more healthy alternatives & you don't need to follow the recipe to the "t". it's a good recipe & very tasty :)

  • Response to too fattening

    Use egg substitute and fat-free feta. I doubt you will even tell the difference and will save over 1/2 of the fat grams.

    If you are on a diet, then dont eat quiche. This is a delicious recipe and if you are looking for low fat foods you are looking at the wrong recipe. Its a quiche for gods sake. Get over yourselves!!

  • fat? get real!

    girasol - December 11, 2006 02:38:12 PM PST
    when will people realize that fat IS NOT the problem. low fat diets make very little difference. go get over the fat scare! get off the junk and high carb foods!

    lose the crust here-- quiche is excellent without crust--- and you get an extreamely heathy and fulfilling quiche.
