Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup fresh crab meat
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3 green onions, finely sliced
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimp the edges, and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk until well combined.
Stir in the dried dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Evenly distribute the fresh crab meat, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions across the bottom of the pie crust.
Carefully pour the egg and cream mixture over the filling, ensuring it fills the crust without spilling over.
Place the quiche on the center oven rack and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious meal.
