Crustless Salmon Quiche
"I made up this recipe, and I love it! It is yummy and a GREAT way to use up leftover salmon."
- Ready In:
- 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
1 9 inch pie dish
- Serves:
- 4-6
ingredients
- 1 cup salmon, cooked
- 1⁄2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 5 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1⁄2 cup heavy cream
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄2 cup sour cream (optional)
- 1 green onion, sliced (optional)
directions
- Butter a 9 inch pie plate.
- Toss the salmon and cheese with the flour, and place in the bottom of the buttered pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
- Pour egg mixture over the cheese and salmon.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
- Serve hot, top each piece with a dollop of sour cream and sliced green onions.
- Note: I use leftover salmon to make this, and I usually bake my salmon with spices, including plenty of garlic--you may want to add a little garlic to this recipe if you didn't cook your salmon this way.
- Lower Carb/Gluten Free Version: You can omit the flour if you choose to, I think it makes the whole recipe a bit wetter that way, though--for my picky kids' sake, I like to make it a little drier. We call it "salmon pie" and even the kids who "hate" eggs eat this one. :).

Whoa cowgirl...back away from the pepper. This is only edible with the sour cream. Going forward I'll add more cheese, less PEPPER and more salt. Thanks for a new idea for leftovers but too bad it fell to the bottom of the list. -
Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe SeriousMom! I followed the directions exactly, except that I didn't have any green onions. I used leftover grilled salmon, which I highly flavor with garlic, rosemary, lime, cumin and coriander when it was grilled, so those flavors came out in the quiche. This is a great way to use up leftovers without having to make a pie crust!

Well, my real name is Brenda, and I am a stay at home mom of 3 boys (ages 6, 5, and 4) and 1 baby girl. I homeschool my boys during the day, and I enjoy cooking with them. I love cooking and trying new things. I like fast, easy recipes for dinner, but I also like more complicated, elegant dishes. We entertain often, so I am always looking for something new to fix. I sent several recipes into the Pillbsbury Bakeoff Contest a few years ago, so I spent a month or so inventing recipes. I will post those here soon. :) I have a son who was born 3 months premature (26 weeks gestation) and is now too skiney (at 6 years old) and sensetive to the texture of his food. I always like finding high calorie foods that he will actually eat!
In my "spare time" (ok, 1 night per week!), I design and maintain a website: SeriousMoms.com. I LOVE this site. I look forward to working on it every week. I've made several pages on my site that link to many Zaar recipes--like my Cupcakes page, and my Christmas Gift Ideas, and Recipes for Romantic Dates at Home. :)
Lately, I've been enjoying "The Sneaky Chef" with my kids. It WORKS! :) They like all of the recipes so far!!
For fun, I also enjoy scrapbooking. I'm currently working on my daughter's baby album.
We love adoption! We've adopted 2 of our kids--Noah (3) and Ruby (our baby). It's not always easy, we have struggles (we didn't get Noah 'til he was 14 months, so he has a lot of anger built up in him), but we love it nonetheless. It is a blessing to us to be able to see these kids grow, and to not know what they're going to look like or be like, and to just fall in love with how different they are from us & how those traits never could've come from us. :)
