Ingredients

• 1 piece pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup lump crab meat
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cup scallions (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust to prevent bubbling, then bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Evenly spread the lump crab meat and shredded cheddar cheese over the partially baked pie crust. Add the chopped scallions on top.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, sautéed garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika until smooth and fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the crab, cheese, and scallions in the pie crust.

Step 6

Place the quiche on a baking sheet to catch any spills, then bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 7

Allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
