  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs until light and frothy.
  3. Gently fold in 1 cup of cooked lump crab meat, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared quiche pan.
