How to Make Chesapeake Crab Quiche

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, gently combine 1 (14.1 ounce) can lump crab meat, 1 cup heavy cream, 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper (any color), 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Pour the crab mixture into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden brown around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly.
Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
