Growing up, Krab Quiche was a spring staple in our house. I didn’t appreciate as a kid, but as an adult, I crave it every year. Using flaky imitation crab meat gives the quiche a great texture and flavor while keeping it budget friendly. It’s also a fantastic recipe for those with shellfish allergies since it contains no actual crab.
Ingredients for Krab Quiche
1 cup milk
4 eggs
1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
8 oz Swiss cheese, shredded
1 pkg Imitation crab, drained and chopped
1 tsp olive oil
1 small bunch of green onions, sliced
1 unbaked pie shell
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook onion for 2-3 minutes until it’s softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk and seasoning together. Stir cooked onion, cheese and imitation crab into egg mixture.
Pour into pie shell.
Bake for 35-40 mins or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Slice and serve.
Tips on Krab Quiche
- You can use any type of onions in this recipe. Just be sure to slice them thin and cook until translucent before adding to the quiche.
- Any type of dairy milk will work here – Nonfat, 2%, Whole – Your choice.
- The imitation crab gives this quiche a lot of texture. You can use lump crab meat in this dish if you choose, but it will change the texture and taste of the final dish.
