Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces lump crab meat
- 5 large eggs
- 1.25 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 stalks green onions, finely sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with the unsalted butter to ensure the quiche doesn’t stick.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth and fully combined.
Stir in the shredded Gruyère cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, green onions, minced garlic, dried dill, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly incorporated.
Gently fold the lump crab meat into the mixture, being careful not to break it apart too much.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the middle and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature as part of your holiday spread or a cozy meal!
