Crustless Salmon Quiche

Ingredients

• 1 cup salmon, cooked
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 5 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
• 1 green onion, sliced (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   Butter a 9 inch pie plate.

2. 2

   Toss the salmon and cheese with the flour, and place in the bottom of the buttered pan.

3. 3

   In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.

4. 4

   Pour egg mixture over the cheese and salmon.

5. 5

   Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.

6. 6

   Serve hot, top each piece with a dollop of sour cream and sliced green onions.

7. 7

   Note: I use leftover salmon to make this, and I usually bake my salmon with spices, including plenty of garlic--you may want to add a little garlic to this recipe if you didn't cook your salmon this way.

   Lower Carb/Gluten Free Version: You can omit the flour if you choose to, I think it makes the whole recipe a bit wetter that way, though--for my picky kids' sake, I like to make it a little drier. We call it "salmon pie" and even the kids who "hate" eggs eat this one. :).
