About the Recipe
Shrimp Quiche or Quiche aux Fruits de Mer in French is absolutely incredible when served hot – the taste goes through the roof! This quiche is perfect for entrée and tastes best when served with a delicious cream mushroom soup.
The steps of making the pastry is the same as in other quiche recipes, so once you master them, you will be able to make any quiche that you want.
What Is a Quiche?
A quiche is a French tart or pie that is straight-sided and open-faced. It is a mixture of either cream and bacon, cheese and milk, tomatoes and onions, prawns, crabs or anything else combined with eggs, poured into a pastry shell and baked in an oven until it puffs and browns.
But we are focusing on shrimp this time.
Can I Use Other Seafood?
Yes, you could absolutely use mussels, calamari, crab, oysters, your favorite seafood mix, you name it… The quiche will still be delicious!
