Ingredients:

Purchased tart shells or large pie shell (I prefer the dessert ones)

1 small block Swiss cheese (130g approx.)

1 tin crab meat - drained

2 green onions - sliced w/tops

3 beaten eggs

1 cup whipping cream

1/2 tsp salt

Zest of 1/2 lemon - use microplane

1/2 tsp dry mustard

1/4 cup ground almonds

Instructions:

Grate the Swiss cheese & divide amongst the tart shells (probably a scant tablespoon in each?) Then top with the crab; then top with the green onions; then top with the finely grated lemon peel.

Mix the eggs, cream, salt & mustard powder together in something with a spout (I use a large 12 cup glass measuring cup. Also, mix the mustard powder in with the eggs 1st because otherwise the mustard powder tends to "clump" if you add it last).

Pour the egg/cream mixture over each tart until filled - make sure the crab is covered because it will dry out in the oven otherwise.

Sprinkle the tarts with ground almonds. Bake (depending on your oven) at 350 F for about 20 minutes but start checking them at 17 minutes. I've had them take anywhere from 17 to 30 minutes.
