Yeah, Yeah I know that I said that I was going to start a series of videos all about kitchen knives and every aspect of the care, use and maintenance of them. Well, I was going to do that last night,(Sunday) but instead I made this quiche recipe video instead! I was hungry and wanted dinner and wasn't quite set up to start the knife videos. I will start the series of cutlery videos this week I promise.
I was setting up my camera and my lighting and then my stomach started rumbling. It was late in the day getting close to six at night and I thought to myself that I need to make something for dinner. I started looking around my fridge and I was at a loss for ideas when all of a sudden I found some seafood mix. I thought to myself to make just some pasta dish and I thought nah! I really was not in the mood for pasta and for me I love pasta, but sometimes for me it is just a cop out to the fact that I usually prefer to be a bit more creative than just pasta with oil and seafood mix.
I started hunting around the fridge some more and found eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, Italian five cheese blend and yadayadayada! I thought to myself that I would just make a nice seafood frittata and be done with it. Then again I thought, Nah! I went to my pantry and found some flour and panko breadcrumbs and I thought to myself, quiche recipe! It has been awhile since I made a quiche and thought OK! I am going to make a crustless seafood quiche!
I know that most of the time you make a quiche with a nice flaky pastry type dough, but I didn't want four to eight ounces of butter more in it as there was plenty of fat content from the cheeses I would be using. A crustless quiche recipe is an easy quiche to make and it is delicious. I thought to myself how much a quiche and a frittata have in common, they are practically brother and sister to each other.
Quiche is a unique dish in the culinary world as it is attributed to French cuisine but the word "quiche" actually comes from the German word "Kuchen" which means "cake." I am not going into a major history lesson here I just thought that was a nice factoid. I love to make quiches because they are easier to make than one might think and you can make a quiche out of anything you want and
they can be quite nutritious. My mom taught me how to make quiche when I was a boy and it is one of my favorite comfort foods. This recipe is for a crustless seafood quiche, I used seafood mix with clam, oyster, surimi, calamari, shrimp, and scallops to make it. The luxury of this recipe is that you can make it out of any kind of seafood that you want. The sky's the limit. You can use any seafood mix you can find or canned crab, bulk crab, lobster, surimi, fresh or canned salmon even shrimp by itself or mixed with other types of seafood. I honestly can't think of anything that you can't make a crustless quiche with!
