Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Shrimp crackers
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 units Large eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 200 grams Cooked shrimp
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 units Green onions (sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the shrimp crackers in a resealable bag and crush thoroughly with a rolling pin until they have the texture of breadcrumbs.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave and combine it with the crushed shrimp crackers in a mixing bowl.
Press the shrimp cracker mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well blended.
Evenly scatter the cooked shrimp, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions over the baked crust.
Pour the egg mixture over the shrimp, cheese, and onions, ensuring it spreads evenly over the filling.
Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top.
Allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
