1-16-14 very good, very very different (for us at least)....started out with a 9" pie crust and soon realized not big enuf, added 9" baking dish with some phylo dough thrown in, so made 2 of them, i messed up and forgot to add the cream to the eggs first time so added some extra cream during, but it came out great!! Add the cashews!! Oh and i made it from the original cut out recipe! (saving this one for 29 years!!!)

About This Recipe

"This deep dish "pie" is more quiche-like and is full of crab,cheese and spinach. The original recipe included the dry-roasted cashews, but I've listed them as optional. It's from the R.S.V.P. section of a December 1985 issue of Bon Appetit magazine. It was requested from Lambertville Station, a charming restaurant in Lambertrville, New Jersey which used to be a railroad station during the heyday of American train travel."
