No-Crust Salmon Quiche
This crustless salmon quiche is exactly what it sounds like—no fuss, no pastry, just a silky, custardy center and edges that go golden and crisp in the pan. Honestly, you won’t miss the crust.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 TBSP chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- A few cranks of cracked black pepper
- 1 TBSP avocado or olive oil
- 1/2 cup sliced grape tomatoes
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion Preferably sliced with a mandolin
- 2 TBSP drained capers
- 1 cup shredded cheese of your choice I like to use a blend of cheddar and mozzarella
- 4 oz smoked salmon, torn into bite-sized pieces Preferably cold smoked salmon
- Extra chopped fresh dill, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF with the rack positioned in the middle.
- Prep all your ingredients (chop the dill, cut the veggies, etc.) and set them aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, milk (if using it), dill, salt, and pepper. Make sure the mixture is smooth and cohesive. Tip: You can blend the above ingredients in a blender for a super fluffy, airy, and uniform custard.
- Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet. Add the tomatoes, onions, and capers, and sauté them until they’ve softened. Remove the skillet from the heat and, using a spatula, spread the veggies over the bottom in an even layer.
- Evenly scatter the shredded cheese over the veggies. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the cheese and veggies, tilting the pan and swirling it around a bit to make sure it settles evenly across the pan and into the veggies.
- Place the smoked salmon pieces throughout the egg mixture.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the quiche for 13-15 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked.
- Remove the quiche from the oven and let it set for about 5 minutes before cutting into it.
- Garnish with freshly chopped dill and serve.
