Anyone have a recipe for salmon quiche or breakfast recipe with salmon?

I like smoked salmon with bagels, cream cheese, fresh dill %26amp; thinly sliced red onions - sliced tomatoes or cucumber/tomato salad on the side (for brunch).


-------


Salmon Quiche


1 unbaked pastry shell (10 inches)


1 medium onion, chopped


1 tablespoon butter


2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese


1 can (14-3/4 ounces) salmon, drained, flaked and cartilage removed


5 eggs


2 cups half-and-half cream


1/4 teaspoon salt


Minced fresh parsley, optional





Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450 for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.





In a small skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Sprinkle Swiss cheese in the crust; top with the salmon and onion.





In a bowl, beat eggs, cream and salt; pour over salmon mixture. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Sprinkle with parsley if desired. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6-8 servings.
