Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup Lump crab meat (cooked and drained)
- 1 cup Shredded Swiss cheese
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon Butter (optional, for sautéing)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges, if desired, and set aside.
If using raw green onions, sauté them in 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat for 2-3 minutes to soften. Let them cool slightly.
Spread the crab meat evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese on top of the crab meat, ensuring even coverage.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until fully combined.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, ground nutmeg, and sautéed (or raw) green onions.
Pour the egg mixture over the crab meat and cheese in the pie crust, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
