Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz chorizo sausage
- 6 oz lump crabmeat
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it up into crumbles, until it’s browned and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika, then mix well.
In the pre-made pie crust, evenly spread the cooked chorizo mixture.
Top the chorizo with an even layer of lump crabmeat, ensuring it’s distributed throughout the pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the crabmeat.
Pour the egg mixture into the crust, letting it fill in all the spaces. Do not overfill.
Sprinkle the chopped green onions on top for a fresh, vibrant flavor.
Place the quiche on the center rack of the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the quiche to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
