Salmon & Spinach Quiche

"A slightly different version of my basic quiche recipe; I just altered the ingredients for a relative who's got a lot of food allergies. This is just a simple quiche that doesn't require a lot of pre-cooked veggies or overly-fancy spices. I use lox pieces in mine, and they actually stay firm in this dish, instead of "flaking" too much like usual raw salmon! It's great cold too, and can easily be prepared ahead of time and warmed up later. Hope you'll try it! :)"

directions

  • Prepare pie shell according to instructions, if required.
  • Preheat oven to 350*.
  • Sprinkle lox in an even layer on the bottom of pie shell.
  • Beat eggs, gradually adding milk.
  • Add spinach, garlic, mustard, oregano, pepper, nutmeg, onion/chives, and half of the cheese.
  • Stir well.
  • Pour egg mixture into pie crust.
  • Top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake at 350* for 45-55 minutes, or until quiche is completely firm.
  • (CAUTION: Cooking time may vary, depending on how new your oven is! I have an ancient electric one from the 70's, and usually start"babysitting" quiche after the first 30 minutes are up. If it doesn't wiggle AT ALL when you pull out the oven rack to check,) When cooked, remove from oven and let quiche cool for 10-15 minutes.
  • Enjoy!

  1. excellent recipe and very simple i puree the salmon and added it directly to eggs and milk very tasty
     
  2. I tried the recipe but substituted cod for the lox. As you can imagine the seafood wasn't flavored like the lox would be so it was a little off. I think if I season the cod or any fish first, perhaps even with old bay seasoning, it will turn out great. I'll try it again.
