Quiche is one of my favorite things to serve for breakfast. Especially Christmas morning. There is enough filling for two-frozen pie shells or one-deep dish homemade pie crust. You can also use 1lb of fresh crab if you do not want to use the canned.

How To Make crab quiche

  • Step 1

    In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and half-and-half. Add seasoned pepper, cayenne, parsley, and Old Bay. Stir in the crab, onions, and one cup of the white cheddar until just combined.
  • Step 4
    Transfer the mixutre to the pie shells. Scatter the remaining white cheddar and parmesan on top of the quiche.
  • Step 5
    Bake for 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes before serving.
