Ingredients

• 1 piece pre-made pie crust
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
• 1 cup cooked lump crab meat
• 0.5 cup cooked small shrimp
• 0.25 cup green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon unsalted butter (for sautéing garlic)
• 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 pinch pinch of cayenne pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing firmly into the edges, and crimping the rim if desired.

Step 2

In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded Gruyère cheese, crab meat, shrimp, sautéed garlic, green onions, and dill. Mix gently to distribute the fillings evenly in the custard mixture.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Place the quiche on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

Step 7

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature with a crisp side salad or fresh fruit.
