Description

This Salmon Quiche is a delightful blend of flaky pie crust filled with tender salmon, creamy eggs, and vibrant vegetables. Perfect for brunch or a hearty breakfast, it offers a light yet satisfying flavor combination that’s easy to prepare and sure to impress.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 refrigerated pie crust

Filling

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 ounces salmon, skinless
  • ½ cup onion, diced
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ cup tomatoes, chopped
  • ½ cup spinach, finely chopped
  • 2 ounces cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to ensure it’s ready for baking the quiche.
  2. Pre-bake pie crust: Place the refrigerated pie crust in a pie dish and bake it for 10 minutes. This helps to prevent a soggy bottom. Remove and set aside.
  3. Cook salmon and onions: Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add salmon and diced onions. Break the salmon into smaller chunks as it cooks. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the salmon is fully cooked through.
  4. Prepare egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and combined.
  5. Combine ingredients: Stir the cooked salmon and onions, chopped tomatoes, and finely chopped spinach into the egg mixture, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Assemble quiche: Pour the egg and salmon mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, filling it just before the top to avoid spills during baking.
  7. Add cream cheese: Cut the cream cheese into small chunks and distribute them evenly on top of the egg mixture.
  8. Bake: Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the center is set. If the crust edges brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning.

Notes

  • Use leftover salmon: Using leftover salmon from a previous meal can save preparation time without compromising flavor.
  • Rest before slicing: Let the quiche rest for a few minutes after baking to allow it to set, making it easier to slice and serve without crumbling.
  • Don’t overfill the crust: Fill the pie crust just below the edge to prevent the filling from spilling over as it bakes.
