Ingredients

• 1 piece pre-made pie crust
• 200 grams canned salmon (drained and flaked)
• 4 large eggs
• 240 milliliters half-and-half (or milk)
• 120 grams shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 stalks green onions (sliced)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon dill (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently to fit. Trim any excess edges and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Step 3

Pre-bake the pie crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and half-and-half together until thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, flaked salmon, sliced green onions, salt, black pepper, and dill (if using). Mix well.

Step 6

Pour the salmon mixture into the pre-baked crust, spreading evenly.

Step 7

Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled as desired. Pair with a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
