(Imitation) Crab Quiche 🦀🥸

My mom gave me this recipe over 15 years ago and I’ve made it many times. It’s very versatile, and you can modify it according to your tastes. Which is good, because the cost of everything has been going up, up, UP lately. 😣 I’ve been trying to be more frugal with my meal preparations. Real crab can be used in this recipe, but it’s expensive. Imitation crab is a cheaper alternative. Not everyone likes Miracle Whip (but I do!) and I think its tangy/spicy flavor works well here. But mayonnaise will work, too. Do you really need the pie crust in this recipe? Probably not. However, I’ve never tried it without one, so proceed at your own risk.

ricotta cheese (or just use another 1/4 cup of Miracle Whip or mayonnaise)
