2 tablespoons (unsalted)

4 (large, beaten)

1 cup (full-fat)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch quiche dish or deep dish pie plate.
2
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced onions, sautéing them until they are tender and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain the mixture on a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cottage cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and crabmeat. Mix until well incorporated.
4
In a separate plastic bag, toss together the shredded Monterey Jack cheese and flour until the cheese is evenly coated. Add this mixture to the crabmeat mixture and gently fold it in.
5
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Then, add the sautéed mushroom and onion mixture, salt, and Tabasco sauce to the eggs. Mix well to combine.
6
Pour the egg mixture over the crab and cheese mixture, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients.
7
Pour the entire mixture into the prepared quiche dish, spreading it evenly.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the quiche is puffed and golden brown, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
9
Allow the quiche to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
