How to Make Nova Scotia Crab Quiche

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, gently combine crab meat, cheddar cheese, chives, and dill. Season with salt and pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Carefully spread the sautéed onion and garlic mixture into the pre-made pie crust.
Evenly distribute the crab meat mixture over the onions and garlic.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the crab meat filling.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden brown. The center should be just slightly jiggly.
Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
