In bowl, beat together eggs, cream, salt and pepper.
Pour into pastry shell over other ingredients.
Bake in hot oven, 400 degrees F, until firm, about 30 to 40 minutes.
When knife point inserted into center comes out clean, filling is set.
May be decorated with tomato wedges or cherry tomatoes.
Cool slightly before cutting.
Tuna, salmon, shrimp, or flaked fish may be substituted for crabmeat.
