Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 10-inch pie pan or ceramic quiche dish with cooking spray.

2. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes; transfer to a large bowl. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the skillet and heat over high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they have softened and most of their liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Add to the bowl with the onion mixture.

3. Place eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, yogurt, flour, Parmesan, cayenne, salt and pepper in a food processor or blender; blend until smooth. Add to the vegetable mixture, along with crab, Cheddar and scallions; mix with a rubber spatula. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

4. Bake the quiche until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Getting out the shell

If you lay out the crabmeat on a cookie sheet and broil for 5 minutes (just don't let it start to brown and cook), the shells and cartilage will turn bright white and are very easy to pick out.

reply to bonbon

picked crabmeat, whether bought fresh,frozen or even canned - can have some pieces of shell mixed in with the crabmeat..just wash your hands well and gently feel through the crabmeat to check for pieces of the white- translucent shell which is not easily seen.. Well worth this small task !!
