[edit] Preparation
Step 1 |
Crust: Mix together the flour and the salt. Using a pastry fork or food processor, cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Mix in just enough ice water to form a ball. Wrap the pastry in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. |
Step 2 |
Roll out the the chilled dough on a lightly floured board to 1/8- to 1/4-inch thickness. Line a 9-inch quiche pan with the pastry, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use. |
Step 3 |
Filling: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, beat the eggs well. Add the half-and-half and beat again. Stir in the lobster meat and cheeses. Set aside. |
Step 4 |
Chop the onion finely and saute in a little butter. When the onion is almost done, crush the garlic and stir in; remove from heat. Add the onion and garlic, dry mustard, herbs, salt, and pepper to the lobster mixture and combine well. |
Step 5 |
Pour into the quiche crust and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Cool on a rack for 5 minutes before slicing. |
