Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat. This will give your quiche the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat that has been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overcook the quiche. The quiche is done when the center is just set. If you overcook it, the quiche will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the quiche to set and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the quiche with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include hollandaise sauce, salsa, and guacamole.
