Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
- 200 grams lump crab meat
- 4 large eggs
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 100 grams shredded Gruyère cheese
- 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon butter, for greasing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9-inch pie pan lightly with butter to prevent sticking.
Press the pre-made pie crust into the pie pan, trimming any excess dough hanging over the edges.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the lump crab meat evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese, green onions, and parsley over the crab meat.
Pour the egg mixture gently over the crab and cheese filling, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Place the pie pan on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is a light golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Breakfast Crab Pie!
