Ingredients

• 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
• 1 cup Lump crab meat (cooked and drained)
• 1 cup Shredded Swiss cheese
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon Butter (optional, for sautéing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges, if desired, and set aside.

Step 3

If using raw green onions, sauté them in 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat for 2-3 minutes to soften. Let them cool slightly.

Step 4

Spread the crab meat evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese on top of the crab meat, ensuring even coverage.

Step 6

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until fully combined.

Step 7

Stir in the salt, black pepper, ground nutmeg, and sautéed (or raw) green onions.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture over the crab meat and cheese in the pie crust, ensuring it spreads evenly.

Step 9

Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 10

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
