Ingredients

• 8 ounces lump crab meat
• 5 large eggs
• 1.25 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 stalks green onions, finely sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with the unsalted butter to ensure the quiche doesn’t stick.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Stir in the shredded Gruyère cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, green onions, minced garlic, dried dill, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Gently fold the lump crab meat into the mixture, being careful not to break it apart too much.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the middle and lightly golden on top.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature as part of your holiday spread or a cozy meal!
