Notes

  • Be sure to use a deep dish frozen pie crust.  If you use the regular size, it will run over.
  • Drain the liquid from salmon. Remove skin and bones and discard. Those bones can be eaten for a great source of calcium if desired.
  • You could make this a lighter version using half and half or fat free half and half.
  • Feel free to customize by adding cooked onions, spinach or cooked broccoli, or you could change up the cheese option. Swiss cheese would be a good alternative.
  • If the top of the quiche starts to get to dark for your liking, cover lightly with foil at the end.
  • This quiche can be served hot or at room temperature.
