Enhanced Salmon Quiche
Indulge in the rich and savory flavors of this salmon quiche, a delightful fusion of creamy filling and flaky pastry that brings a taste of coastal elegance to your table. Featuring delicate layers of smoked salmon balanced by a smooth custard enriched with Parmesan and fresh dill, this quiche makes for an impressive brunch centerpiece or a comforting dinner option. Historically, quiche originated in Germany, but it gained fame in French cuisine, particularly in the Lorraine region, where it was traditionally made with bacon. Our salmon twist honors the tradition while adding a modern, flavorful touch.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup
- Milk
- 1/2 cup
- Heavy cream
- 1 cup
- Eggs
- 4 large
- Smoked salmon
- 8 ounces, sliced
- Pie crust
- 1 (9-inch) store-bought or homemade
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface and carefully press it into a 9-inch (23 cm) quiche dish or pie pan, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides evenly.
- Arrange the slices of smoked salmon evenly over the crust, overlapping slightly for a beautiful presentation.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the smoked salmon in the quiche dish, allowing it to fill any gaps.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the filling to firm up.
- Serve the salmon quiche warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired.
