  1. Roll out pastry to line a 20cm/8in loose-bottomed flan tin. Bake blind with greaseproof paper and baking beans at Gas 4 350F 180C for 10 minutes. Remove beans and paper and return to oven for another 5 minutes. Remove from oven.
  2. For the filling, heat oil in a pan and gently fry onions over low heat until softened, but not brown. Add garlic and chilli and cook 2 minutes more. Place crab meat in a bowl and add onion mix. Stir gently. Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper and Tabasco® Red Pepper Sauce. Scatter filling over the base of the pastry case.
  3. Beat eggs with cream and season. Pour over the filling. Return to oven and cook for 30 minutes - or until set and just firm to the touch. Serve with green salad.

"Very tasty! Note if buying fresh crab - I bought a 550g crab which only yielded 165g meat in total. Used brown and white meat and topped up with canned and it was lovely. I used a 23cm tin and only needed 2 eggs and 200ml cream."
