As a Florida girl, I love seafood in just about any dish. Crab is one of my favorites so I decided to add it to my signature brunch quiche. The result was a creamy, cheesy, and delicious Crab Quiche that my family and I devoured! Also try it with shrimp or lobster for a tasty twist!

For this recipe I use one 8oz package of lump crab meat which was about 1 heaping cup full.
I love the flavor and meatiness of lump crab.
If you want a more affordable crab you can try backfin or claw. 

 Heat a saute pan over medium heat and add butter.
Once butter is melted, add onions and bell peppers.

Saute for 4 minutes or until softened.

 In a large bowl, mix together eggs and half and half.

For seasoning I use 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning, 1/2 tsp garlic powder,
1/8 tsp white pepper, and 1/8 tsp salt.

Add spices and sauteed onion mixture.

Finally, gently stir in the crab.

 Add half the cheese to the bottom of the pie crust.

 Pour in egg mixture then sprinkle on remaining cheese.

 

 Place in oven and bake at 375 degrees for 40-45 minutes until cooked through.

 Remove from oven and let sit for at least 10 minutes to set.

Slice and serve warm.

After cruising down Route 66 last week we decided to make a pit stop for lunch at this one of a kind spot located on Kingsley Air Field: 🛩️ Hangar Kafe. 
We watched planes take off, pet the friendly local pups, checked out the vintage cars on display, and then went inside the cozy themed restaurant and  enjoyed a tasty home-cooked diner style meal. Highly recommend checking them out! 
Bonus: skydiving and hot air balloon rides are offered next door!
