How to Make Crustless Crab Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Sauté 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion in 2 tablespoons butter until caramelized (about 10-15 minutes).
  3. Season caramelized onions with 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste).
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, and a pinch of black pepper.
  5. Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin or a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter.
  6. Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese into each muffin cup or evenly over the bottom of the pie dish.
  7. Layer caramelized onions, 1 1/2 cups crab meat, and 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese evenly among the muffin cups or in the pie dish.
  8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the crab mixture, filling each muffin cup almost to the top.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden brown.
  10. Let cool for 8-10 minutes before serving. If sticking to the muffin tin, run a knife around the edges to help release.
