Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 1 cup cooked lump crab meat
- 0.5 cup cooked small shrimp
- 0.25 cup green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter (for sautéing garlic)
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 pinch pinch of cayenne pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing firmly into the edges, and crimping the rim if desired.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
Stir in the shredded Gruyère cheese, crab meat, shrimp, sautéed garlic, green onions, and dill. Mix gently to distribute the fillings evenly in the custard mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the quiche on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a crisp side salad or fresh fruit.
