Low-carb meets luscious in this crustless crab quiche – an oven-baked seafood delight that’s rich, cheesy, and ridiculously easy to make!

If you love seafood and savoury bakes, this crustless crab quiche is about to become your new favourite brunch or light dinner.

Whether you're meal-prepping or hosting brunch, this one-bowl wonder is creamy, protein-packed, and incredibly satisfying.

This crustless quiche is inspired by classic French quiches but given a modern, no-fuss twist perfect for busy weeknights or laid-back weekends.

The combination of savoury crab, aromatic spring onion, and that cheesy, custardy texture makes every bite feel like something from a coastal café. It's a great way to use imitation crab meat—affordable and available year-round. You can prep it in under 15 minutes and even freeze leftovers for a quick meal later. Want it extra fancy? Pair it with a crisp green salad or sparkling wine for a breezy, café-style meal at home.

Key Ingredients & Their Roles:

• Imitation Crab Meat → Adds a sweet, delicate seafood flavour and protein without the cost of real crab.
• Eggs → Bind the ingredients and create the soft, custardy texture we love in quiche.
• Shredded Cheese → Provides gooey richness and a golden crust on top—cheddar or tasty cheese work well.
• Spring Onion & Parsley → Brighten the dish with freshness and balance the richness of the eggs and cheese.
• Old Bay Seasoning & Dijon Mustard → Bring complexity and depth with a subtle kick.
• Milk → Keeps the texture light and creamy; whole milk works best, but you can substitute with a dairy-free option.
