Salmon Quiche:

Ingredients
1 (8 ounce) package Cheddar cheese, cubed
1/4 onion, diced
4 eggs
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch dried parsley
1 pinch dried sage
1 (14.75 ounce) can salmon, drained, flaked and bones removed
1 pie crust
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Directions
1.Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2.Place 8 ounces of cubed Cheddar cheese, onion, eggs, and evaporated milk into a blender. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley, and sage, then blend until smooth. Spread salmon over the pie crust. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese then pour the egg mixture on top. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese.
3.Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.

I don't use the store bought salmon in this. We have a neighbor who goes up to MI to go salmon fishing every year. He cans his with the bones left in it. We barter with him for this and that's what I use in the recipe.

Mmmm yummers!

My Mom used to make a very similar quiche, the recipe book called it "Quiche Pacifica". It had a mix of cheddar and mozzarella and my Mom used cream instead of canned milk, but it was otherwise the same. Your post has me adding it to next week's meal plan

Just a side note, just about any quiche can be made crustless if you don't have the makings for pastry or you can't tolerate gluten etc.--just use half the milk.

(Oh, and growing up on Haida Gwaii we always had real home-canned salmon as well! I've been posting about the pressure canner that my Mom recently gave me, and that was why she had it in the first place.)

Cream! That's what it needs! I used an herbed white cheese in it today and less of the other herbs which was yummy.
