Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Knife and Cutting Board
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Cheese Grater (Optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 frozen 9" deep-dish pie crust or keep it in the dish it comes in
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 14 oz cooked lobster meat chopped
  • 5 scallions sliced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375° Fahrenheit (190°Celsius).
  • If your frozen pie crust isn't at room temperature, let it thaw according to the package instructions. Place it in a 9" deep-dish pie pan or keep it in the dish it comes in.
  • Layer half of the lobster, scallions, and cheese. Repeat with the remaining lobster and scallions, saving the remaining cheese for the next step.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour the seasoned egg mixture over the layered ingredients. Finish by sprinkling the remaining Gruyere cheese.
  • Bake the lobster quiche on a sheet for 45-50 minutes until it's set the crust is golden brown.
  • Let the quiche cool for ten minutes before slicing. Serve it warm and enjoy!

Notes

While pre-shredded cheese is convenient, shredding your own Gruyere adds a fresh and melt-in-your-mouth texture to the quiche.
Keep an eye on the quiche during the final minutes of baking to ensure it achieves the desired golden brown color without overcooking.
Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This helps to set the custard and makes for easier and neater serving.
