Mini Salmon Quiches
One of my favorite things to do in the summer is fish for salmon with my husband. I am very happy to say that we have improved drastically over the last few years, and we can actually catch some fish now. At least most of the time. Okay, some of the time. Anyway, we have a lot of fish in our freezer or canned on our shelves, so I am constantly trying to find new salmon recipes.
Mini Salmon Quiches are one of my hubby’s favorites. They are simple to make and taste great. We eat them for breakfast or a light lunch or dinner, but they also make great appetizers for parties. We usually have them with salad and fruit. If you try them, please let me know what you think. I hope you will enjoy them as much as we do.
Mini Salmon Quiches
Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese Use your favorite
- 4-7 oz canned smoked salmon
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- ½ cup half-n-half or milk
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 green onions, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick spray. This is a must, otherwise you will never get these things out!
- Using a 3" round biscuit cutter, cut 9 circles out of your puff pastry sheet. Knead the scraps together and roll the remaining dough large enough to cut two more circles. Take the last remaining scraps to make your final circle.
- Take one circle and gently stretch it bigger, being careful not to tear it. Press it into the muffin tin, making sure it goes up the sides as well. Repeat with all the dough. Be sure there are no holes or tears. You don't want the egg mixture to get under the pastry.
- Place about a tablespoon of smoked salmon into each cup.
- Place about a tablespoon of shredded cheese on top of the salmon.
- In a small bowl combine the eggs, half-n-half or milk, and the salt and pepper. Pour approximately 1-2 Tablespoons into each cup over the salmon and cheese. Try not to overfill or the egg mixture will get underneath the pastry and make it stick to the tin.
- Bake at 375°F for 20-22 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
- Top with green onions, if desired.
