Crosstrees Crab Quiche

Ingredients:

3 Tablespoons butter

3 Tablespoons diced Vidalia onions

6 ounces fresh crab meat

One 9-inch pie crust, partially baked

1-1/2 cups grated Swiss cheese

3 large eggs

1-1/8 cup heavy cream

1/4 teaspoon salt

Dash of cayenne pepper

Saute onions in butter in a skillet for a few minutes until tender. Add crab meat and let it heat throughout. I sprinkle the bottom of the pie shell with Parmesan cheese, then put the crab and onion mixture in the crust. Then place the grated cheese on top of the crab. Mix the eggs together with cream, salt, and cayenne pepper. Slowly pour this mixture over the ingredients in the pie shell. Bake in the top portion of the oven at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until done. It sometimes takes a little longer before the center of the quiche sets up. Allow it to cool before you cut into slices and serve. Enjoy!
