Ingredients
  • 1 sheet refrigerated pie crust
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese divided
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 cup flaked imitation crab meat chopped

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures a perfectly baked crust.
  2. Step 2: Unroll the refrigerated pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges as desired. You can prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
  3. Step 3: In a skillet, melt the 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the chopped sweet red pepper and chopped green onions. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until soft. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Step 4: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 3 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups of half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until combined.
  5. Step 5: Add the sautéed vegetables, 3/4 cup of flaked imitation crab meat, and 1/2 cup of shredded Swiss cheese to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Step 6: Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded Swiss cheese on top.
  7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
  8. Step 8: Allow the Easy Crab Quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • To keep the crust from getting too brown, you can cover the edges with foil during baking.
  • Don’t skip the cooling step! This helps the quiche set properly and makes slicing easier.
  • Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite vegetables or cheese!
