How to Make Smoked Salmon Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place a 9-inch pre-made pie crust in a pie plate. Prick the bottom with a fork several times to prevent bubbling. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  3. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. In a separate bowl, gently combine 1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 finely chopped shallots, and 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour.
  6. Evenly sprinkle the cheese mixture and 4 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon over the bottom of the warm pie crust.
  7. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the warm pie shell, ensuring it reaches all corners.
  8. Bake on the middle rack for 40-50 minutes, or until the quiche is lightly browned and a knife inserted 1 inch from the edge comes out clean. The center should be set but slightly soft.
  9. Let the quiche cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
