Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
- 200 grams salmon fillet (skinless)
- 100 grams sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 4 pieces eggs
- 240 milliliters heavy cream
- 120 milliliters milk
- 3 stalks green onions (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons dill (fresh, chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess. Set aside.
Season the salmon fillet with a pinch of salt and pepper, then bake it in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until fully cooked. Once cooked, let it cool slightly and flake it into small pieces using a fork.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until well combined. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the flaked salmon evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top, followed by the chopped green onions and dill.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the fillings, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Place the quiche on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired. Enjoy!
