This take on the classic French quiche is just delightful, here we used a dressed crab and some wonderfully nutty Gruyere cheese to compliment it. Easy to throw together, great for a summer’s day luncheon. We used our simple shortcrust pastry recipe, alternatively you can use a pre-prepared shop bought pastry.
