Ingredients

• 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 8 ounces Medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup Small potatoes, cooked and diced
• 1 cup Green beans, trimmed and blanched
• 0.5 cup Black olives, pitted and sliced
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges as desired. Prick the bottom with a fork and set aside.

Step 2

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until just pink and cooked through. Remove and let cool slightly, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Layer the diced potatoes, blanched green beans, cooked shrimp, sliced black olives, halved cherry tomatoes, and shredded Gruyere cheese evenly over the prepared pie crust.

Step 5

Pour the egg and cream mixture over the fillings, ensuring it spreads evenly to cover all ingredients.

Step 6

Place the quiche on the center rack of the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 7

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before slicing and serving.
