Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Pre-made pie crust
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 small Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 Celery stalks, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
- 0.75 cup Cooked shrimp, chopped
- 0.5 cup Cooked crab meat or canned crab (drained)
- 0.75 cup Sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned and drained)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Use a fork to lightly prick the bottom of the crust to prevent puffing during baking. Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, cooking until softened (about 5 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir for 1-2 minutes until it forms a paste. Gradually whisk in the milk, heavy cream, and chicken or vegetable stock. Cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cooked shrimp, crab meat, and corn kernels. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and mix until evenly distributed. Season with salt, black pepper, and parsley.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Slowly add the seafood mixture to the eggs, stirring constantly to combine.
Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
