Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1 cup Imitation crab meat, shredded
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently along the edges. Use a fork to poke small holes in the bottom of the crust to prevent bubbling.
Place the pie crust in the oven and blind bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add the cooked, chopped shrimp and shredded imitation crab meat to the cream cheese and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, eggs, chopped green onions, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika until fully combined.
Spread the seafood and cream cheese mixture evenly across the bottom of the baked pie crust.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the seafood layer, ensuring the liquid fills evenly.
Carefully transfer the quiche to the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
