For an extra layer of flavor, consider sautéing a finely diced shallot in butter until softened before adding it to the egg mixture. If using a store-bought pie crust, blind bake it first to prevent a soggy bottom. Feel free to substitute Gruyere or Fontina cheese for the Swiss cheese. Fresh crabmeat can be used in place of imitation crab, though the flavor profile will be different. Quiche can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before serving.
