Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
- 8 ounces lump crab meat
- 1.5 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter and press the pre-made pie crust into the dish, trimming any excess dough.
Place the pie crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk until fully combined and smooth.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, and paprika to season the egg mixture.
Spread the lump crab meat evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded Gruyere cheese and chopped green onions evenly over the crab meat.
Pour the egg mixture gently over the filling, ensuring it is evenly distributed and covers the ingredients.
Place the pie dish on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your Divine Crab Quiche!
