This Salmon Quiche dish is sssooo flavorful, rich and savory – you will love it for brunch or a special occasion!  You’ll also love that it can be made ahead of time and eaten hot or cold!

What is your favorite brunch recipe?

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, full of family, love, laughter and great food.  I can’t wait to hear what your favorite food was on your holiday table!

Salmon Quiche | Inspiration Kitchen Now that Thanksgiving is officially over, I feel like it’s time to start rolling out the Christmas recipes so you can plan, plan, plan!  Not that I haven’t already violated the no-Christmas-recipes-before-Thanksgiving rule, like here and here.

But, planning ahead (sometimes way ahead) means the holidays are less stressful, and having more time to spend with your family.

Plus, having recipes that can be made ahead of time are an extra bonus during the busy holidays!  This is like your early warning system!  🙂

Salmon Quiche | Inspiration KitchenHere is a savory breakfast brunch recipe that you will absolutely love for Christmas Eve or Christmas morning.  One of our favorite things about this recipe is that you can eat it hot or cold, and it’s fabulous either way.  Serve it with a side of fruit and you’ll have a delicious brunch before you open gifts.

This is an old recipe (from a Better Homes & Gardens magazine, 1979) that was gifted to me by a dear friend.  The first time she had us over for brunch, I simply could not get enough of it!  I had several helpings, and so did The Husband.  It was probably completely inappropriate how much I ate :-), but at least our host had no doubt we loved it!

After that, I *had* to make it at home.  Now you can too!

Salmon Quiche | Inspiration Kitchen One important tip!  Be sure to buy the canned salmon that has already been de-boned.  Trust me on this one, ok?  The last thing you want to do is be de-boning canned salmon.

Enjoy!

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 6 tablespoons corn or other cooking oil
  • 1 15.5 ounce can salmon, boneless and skinless

  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon grated onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed

Press remaining crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake crust in 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Remove crust from oven and let cool. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
  • For filling, drain salmon and reserve salmon liquid. Add water to reserved salmon liquid (if necessary) to make 1/2 cup liquid. Flake salmon and set aside. In a bowl, blend together eggs, sour cream, mayonnaise, and reserved salmon liquid. Stir in flaked salmon, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, onion, dill weed, and hot pepper sauce. Spoon filling into crust. Sprinkle with reserved crust mixture.

Recipe from Better Homes & Garden magazine February, 1979.

    For whatever reason, I rarely ever make quiche, Kristi. I normally go to french toast bakes or egg bakes of some kind, but not quiche. That needs to change, because this looks delicious! Salmon is my favorite fish, so it’s like you made this for me. Thank you, thank you! Gotta get making some quiche soon. 🙂

      I’m not a big fan of sweet breakfasts Marcie, so I never make french toast or pancakes or …. But, I am a huge fan of savory, so this Salmon Quiche fits the palate so nicely! I thought it was so interesting that this recipe is a throw-back to 1979! Hahaha! They could cook then too! 🙂 LOL, but why wouldn’t they be able too? Silly me!

      Thanks Marissa! This is truly one of our favorites, and I think it’s so unique. Usually you hear about ham & cheese or mushroom – but I don’t ever remember hearing about salmon until this one! xoxo

    With all the sweets I’m baking and eating this month, it’s easy to neglect the savory. I need ideas for good meals and party food like this! And I just love brunch, and all kinds of brunch food. Having people over for breakfast or brunch is the easiest way to entertain. I know your quiche would be a hit!
