Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

3 eggs
1 can(s) french fried onions
1 c cheddar cheese
1 c sour cream
1 can(s) white crab meat
1 9 inch. unbaked pastry shell

Steps:

1. Beat eggs. Add french fried onions, cheddar cheese, sour cream, and crabmeat. Mix well and turn mixture into pie shell.
2. Bake in a 350-degree oven until firm and lightly browned (about 30 minutes.)

Tips:

Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use canned crab meat, but be sure to drain it well and rinse it before using.
Don't overcook the quiche. The quiche is done when the center is just set and the top is golden brown. Overcooking will make the quiche dry and tough.
Let the quiche cool slightly before serving. This will allow the quiche to set properly and make it easier to slice.
Serve the quiche with a green salad or your favorite sides.

Crab quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling, flaky crust, and abundance of crab meat, this quiche is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this crab quiche a try.
