Comments
If you cook the seafood first and then bake the pie for 40 minutes, won't it go terribly tough? WOuldn't the baking process be sufficient to cook the seafood?
It is. In fact, it is softer and sweeter that way. To avoid the liquid release, pat shellfish very dry with a paper towel.
It might be, but the seafood will release liquid into the quiche and make it watery.
The above comment is true- The seafood should be done already
