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)

Method

  • Butter a 9 inch pie plate.
  • Toss the salmon and cheese with the flour, and place in the bottom of the buttered pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour egg mixture over the cheese and salmon.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
  • Serve hot, top each piece with a dollop of sour cream and sliced green onions.
  • 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. :).
