How to Make Chorizo Crabmeat Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare your pie crust: Either use a store-bought 9x13 inch crust or make your own and press into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. In a large skillet, cook 1 pound chorizo, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers, and 2 cloves minced garlic over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until chorizo is browned and vegetables are softened.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  5. Spread the chorizo mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup cooked crabmeat over the chorizo mixture.
  7. Top with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or your favorite cheeses).
  8. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese and crab. Gently poke the egg mixture with a fork to ensure it reaches the bottom.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden brown.
  10. Let cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving.
