Ingredients Needed

• 1 pie crust (pre-made or from scratch)
• 10 eggs
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) chopped fresh dill
• 1 tsp (5 g) salt
• ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
• ¼ cup (40 g) finely chopped red onion
• ¼ cup (40 g) capers
• 4-6 oz (113-170 g) smoked salmon, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 8 oz (227 g) cream cheese, cut into cubes

How To Make Smoked Salmon Quiche

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If making a pie crust from scratch, prepare it according to your recipe and refrigerate until needed.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, dill, salt, pepper, red onion, and capers.
3. Add Salmon and Cream Cheese: Fold in smoked salmon and cream cheese until just combined.
4. Fill Pie Crust: Place the pie crust into a 9-inch (23 cm) baking dish and pour the egg mixture into the crust.
5. Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set.
6. Cool and Serve: Let cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Recipe Tips

• Don’t Overmix: When adding the smoked salmon and cream cheese, mix gently. Overmixing can make the filling tough.
• Check for Doneness: To test if the quiche is done, insert a knife in the center; it should come out clean. If it jiggles, it needs more time.
• Let it Cool: Allow the quiche to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling set and makes it easier to cut.
• Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or leeks for extra flavor. Just make sure they are cooked and drained to avoid excess moisture in the quiche.

How To Store And Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Smoked Salmon Quiche cool until it reaches room temperature. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: To freeze, let the quiche cool completely and then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil or place it in a freezer-safe container. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw the quiche in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
• Reheat: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the quiche on a baking sheet and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through.
