JEAN STAPLETON'S LOBSTER QUICHE

    Jean Stapleton's Lobster Quiche

    1 package prepared pie crust mix
    6 frozen South African rock lobster
        tails (each weighing 2 ounces)
    Boiling salted water
    1 cup (4 ounce) grated Swiss or Gruyere cheese
    1 tablespoon minced white onion
    1 tablespoon butter
    4 eggs, well-beaten
    2 cups half-and-half or light cream
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
    1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

    Prepare pie crust according to package directions. Roll out on lightly floured board. Make large enough to line bottom and sides of an ungreased 9-inch pie pan. Press pastry lightly against pan sides, allowing about 1/2-inch overhand. Flute edge. Prick with fork. Partially bake in preheated 400 degree F oven about 8 minutes.

    Drop frozen rock-lobster tails into boiling, salted water. When water re-boils, boil for 2 minutes. Drain in colander; drench immediately with cold water. Remove underside membrane with scissors or poultry shears and pull out meat in one piece. Slice meat crosswise. Reserve 6 halves sliced lengthwise for garnish. Place remaining meat in bottom of partially baked pie shell. Sprinkle cheese over meat.
