Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces lump crab meat
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika until smooth and well combined.
Fold in the cooked onion and garlic mixture, lump crab meat, shredded Swiss cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
