Judi's Crab Quiche

The first time I have ever had crab quiche was when a co-worker, Judi, made it for us at work. And... I was hooked! I love this recipe--for the longest time, I was using a different recipe, because I had lost this one. I was so excited when I found it again! Now it's in Recipe Manager, so I don't have to worry about not having it. :)
Unfortunately, my dear hubby is not so fond of crab quiche, so I don't get to have it that often. :(
