This is somewhat 1/2 assed, but wasn't going to originally document it. But then in the middle I decided what the hell.

Ingredients

Pate Brisee:

• 2 cups flour
• 1 stick butter
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp Ice Water

Filling:

• 1 lb Crab (I used Dungeness)
• 1/2 lb Shrimp
• 1 stalk Broccoli
• 6 Mushrooms
• 1 large Shallot
• 3 cloves Garlic
• Pepper
• Chives
• Salt

Egg Mixture:

• 1 cup Heavy Cream
• 4 large Eggs
• 1/3 cup Monterey Jack Cheese
• 1/3 cup Swiss Cheese
• 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
• dash of Mirin
• 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
• 2 tsp Chicken Base
• Pepper
• Parsley
• Chives
• Green Onion

Method

Whisk the flour and salt in a bowl, making a well in the middle. Add the egg and butter to the well.

Knead the flour into the butter while slowly adding the water. Form the pastry into a ball and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Cut dough in half. On a lightly floured surface roll out a piece and line a greased pie plate with it.

Fold in the crust.

Cover the shell with aluminum foil and add some beans or rice on top.

Bake at 350F for 20 min. Remove the foil and bake for 10 more minutes.

Cook off the crab and shrimp in boiling water.

Cool and peel.

Line the bottom of the pastry shell.

Saute the garlic and shallots in some vegetable oil for a few minutes. Add the mushrooms and broccoli, saute for 6 minutes, adding a few tbsp of water to steam up the broccoli.

Season to taste and add to the quiche.

Whisk egg mixture ingredients together

and pour into quiche.

Cook at 350F for 50 minutes or until the center is done.
