Shrimply Delicious Quiche
Ingredients:
– 1 prepared pie crust
– 1 cup cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
– 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
– 1/4 cup chopped green onions
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the prepared pie crust in a pie dish and trim any excess crust hanging over the edge. Crimp the edges of the crust for a decorative finish.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, shredded Gruyere cheese, diced red bell pepper, and chopped green onions. Spread the mixture evenly in the pie crust.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the shrimp and cheese mixture in the pie crust.
4. Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. To prevent over-browning, you can cover the edges of the crust with foil halfway through baking.
5. Once the quiche is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and an extra layer of flavor.
6. Serve slices of the Shrimply Delicious Quiche warm or at room temperature, alongside a crisp green salad or a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal. This quiche also makes for a delightful addition to a brunch spread or a special gathering with friends and family.
