Preparation |
| |
Heat oven to 400?. Coat an 11-3/4" X 7-1/2" baking dish with cooking spray.
**Reserve 1/4 cup of hazelnuts for garnish. Set aside. Layer crab, 1/2 cup hazelnuts, cheese and vegetables in greased baking dish. In separate mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and baking mix until dry ingredients are incorporated. (Batter will be somewhat lumpy.) Pour over layered ingredients in baking dish. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown and knife inserted in center comes out clean. Allow to stand 5 minutes before serving.
While quiche is baking, blanch reserved asparagus for 5-8 minutes in uncovered pot. Drain on paper towels. When quiche is removed from oven, garnish with asparagus and sprinkle hazelnuts over all. To give asparagus a shiny appearance, brush very lightly with vegetable oil.
Serves 8 to 10
