Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup lump crab meat
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with butter.
Roll out the crescent dough on a clean surface. Pinch the perforated edges to seal them together, forming a single sheet of dough. Using a round cookie cutter (approximately 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out 24 circles.
Press each dough circle into the bottom and up the sides of each mini muffin cup to form a shell.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Divide the lump crab meat evenly between the prepared dough shells. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onions over the crab meat, ensuring they are evenly distributed across all cups.
Carefully pour the egg mixture into each shell, being careful not to overfill. The mixture will rise slightly during baking.
Transfer the muffin pan to the preheated oven and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the quiches are golden brown around the edges and the centers are set.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the quiches to cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Gently use a butter knife or teaspoon to loosen and lift each quiche from the pan.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These bite-size crab quiches are perfect for brunches, parties, or snacks!
