Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece store-bought or homemade pie crust
- 1 cup cooked salmon (flaked)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 0.25 cup green onions (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons dill (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter and press the pie crust into the dish, trimming any excess around the edges. Prick the base of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights, and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until smooth. Add the salt, black pepper, and dill, and mix to combine.
Sprinkle the flaked salmon evenly over the pre-baked crust. Follow with the Gruyère cheese and green onions.
Pour the egg mixture over the salmon filling, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Carefully transfer the quiche to the oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy this delectable Salmon Quiche with a crisp green salad or fresh fruit.
