Easy Crab Quiche

This quiche is perfect for brunch, lunch or dinner.  Add a salad and you have a full-on complete meal.  I always use lump crab meat in this recipe, but you can also use backfin or imitation crab meat.

Using a refrigerated pie crust makes this quiche even EASIER.  I use a combination of green and red bell pepper for color, but feel free to use one or the other.

This is an OLD recipe from the very beginning days of the blog that I’ve changed up over the years and wanted to update before Christmas… I didn’t even have photos of the original recipe!  😮

      Thanks so much, Mary! Just don’t use the crust and be sure to spray your dish with cooking spray so it doesn’t stick. Hope you enjoy it! 🙂

      Hi Anita, I’ve never tested this recipe with imitation crab meat so I can’t say with certainty. Please let us know how it turns out if you try it!
