Easy Salmon And Asparagus Quiche Ingredients

• 1 (9 inch) deep-dish prepared pie crust

• 1 tablespoon butter, or more to taste

• 8 ounces fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

• 1 large clove garlic, minced

• salt and ground black pepper to taste

• 3 eggs

• 1 (8 ounce) container reduced-fat cream cheese with onion and chives, at room temperature

How to Make Easy Salmon And Asparagus Quiche

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press pie crust into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.

2. Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; add butter. Cook and stir asparagus in the melted butter, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until asparagus is tender, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove skillet from heat, adding more butter to asparagus to taste.

3. Season salmon with salt and black pepper; cook with the asparagus over medium heat until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Remove skillet from heat and chop salmon into small pieces.

4. Beat eggs and cream cheese together in a bowl until smooth; add half-and-half and stir.

5. Spoon salmon and asparagus into pie crust and pour in egg mixture, filling almost to the rim. Set pie plate on a baking sheet.

6. Place baking sheet on the lower rack in the preheated oven and cook until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Let quiche set for 10 minutes before slicing.

Easy Salmon And Asparagus Quiche Reviews

• I have to admit I was skeptical about this recipe as Ive never heard of a salmon quiche before and there werent any reviews. I was intrigued by the use of flavored cream cheese instead of a shredded cheese and was uncertain how it would turn out. Nonetheless I decided to go ahead and make it.

• I love salmon and asparagus, so this was a no brainer for me to make.IMO it does need salt and pepper added to the mixture.Because I just had plain cream cheese, I added some fresh chives. Plus a bit of dill too.Even though I used a prepared crust, next time Ill make home made.Overall it tasted and looked good.
