Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium, finely diced onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 cup shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup lump crab meat
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 4 large eggs
- 1.5 cups milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with non-stick spray.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until just pink and opaque. Stir in the lump crab meat, parsley, and dill, and cook for 1 additional minute. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and heavy cream until smooth. Gradually whisk in the flour and baking powder until fully incorporated and lump-free.
Add the shredded Gruyere cheese, salt, pepper, and paprika into the egg mixture. Fold in the cooled seafood mixture until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish. Use a spatula to smooth the top and ensure the ingredients are evenly spread.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is golden brown on top and the center is set (a toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean).
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with extra parsley or dill if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
