Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp (peeled, deveined, medium-sized)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 1 9-inch crust pie crust (store-bought or homemade, pre-baked)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese (shredded)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg (ground)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and just cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove shrimp and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, flour, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until smooth and combined.
Sprinkle the Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the pre-baked pie crust.
Spread the cooked shrimp and sautéed onions evenly on top of the cheese layer in the crust.
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the shrimp and cheese, ensuring it distributes evenly.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
