The Daily Eat: Crab Dip.

I like the chef’s idea of pairing this easy crab dip with a bottle of wine and a baguette on a sunny afternoon. Preferably one involving a cool breeze, not 100ยบ temperatures which makes today less than ideal.

The Daily Eat: Crab Rangoon.

Over the moon ecstatic is the phrase I would use to best describe my emotions when I came across this recipe for crab rangoon. If I could eat them every day I would. The Crab Rangoon Diet. I’d probably be dead in a month’s time, but at least I’d go happy! The good part with this version is that baking is an option if you don’t want to go the deep fryer route. Oh, and they also have actual crab in them which most of the buffet versions do not.

The Daily Eat: Crab Quiche.

This marks the very first time something other than a fruit or vegetable has been showcased on The Daily Eat. Seafood seems best suited to summertime with its light, flaky textures and their veritable platter of opportunities. I debated about having one week only devoted to Seafood, but when I looked at all the recipes I have marked realized there’s no way that I could share all I wanted under just one banner. Crab happens to be my favorite, so I hope you enjoy!

This crab quiche recipe is super simple – you use store-bought crust! – and can be easily changed up to suit other main ingredients (i.e. veggies, ham, etc.). I love the idea of little pops of flavor from the succulent pieces of crab mixed into the fluffy egg mixture.
