How to Make Cheddar Salmon Quiche
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter and ¼ cup cold vegetable shortening using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ½ cup ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times. Roll into a 10-inch circle.
- Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate or quiche dish. Trim and flute the edges.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 10 minutes.
- While the crust bakes, prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups cooked salmon (flaked), 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, ½ cup chopped green bell pepper, ¼ cup chopped onion, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the salmon mixture into the pre-baked pie crust.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and ½ cup milk.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the salmon mixture.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The quiche should be set and lightly golden brown.
- Let the quiche stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
