Salmon Quiche

With the arrival of warmer weather, we will eat lighter. Fat-free sour cream can be substituted for a lower fat/calorie meal, as well as egg beaters instead of eggs. A nice toss salad as a side.

Salmon Quiche Recipe

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup almonds, finely chopped
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. paprika
8 Tbsp. oil
1 16 oz. can salmon
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup Hellmans
1/2 cup shredded mozarella cheese
2 Tbsp. onion, chopped fine
1/2 tsp. dried dill

For crust: Combine flour, 1 cup mozzarella, almonds, salt and paprika. Stir in oil. Set aside one cup of mixture. Press remaining mixture into bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.

For filling: Drain salmon, reserve liquid. Flake salmon, removing bones and skin. Mix eggs, sour cream, Hellmans and reserved salmon liquid together. Stir in salmon, the 1/2 cup mozzarella, onion and dill. Spoon into crust, sprinkle with reserved crust mixture. Bake for 45 minutes, or till firm in center.

The food critic called me from work to rave about this dish ... he said to make sure I keep it in my handwritten recipe book :)

That DOES sound good! I have some leftover smoked salmon I brought back from Washington last year and I've been saving it for something special.

Salmon quiche, with a simple salad & vinaigrette, a glass of white wine. Heaven!

Hope you guys warm up soon! We're already in summer down here. We have two seasons: Summer and Christmas Day!

Bleh!
