I have served this quiche at a number of events - and even for those who claim not to be fish, seafood or smoked salmon lovers - it has always been a hit!! I always make a larger deep dish quiche - but upping the ingredients has always worked fine. Easily made ahead to reheat & serve warm or at room temperature. This recipe has been passed on many times!

Great quiche! Love the hashbrowns!! Similar to judycopleand I used 5 eggs but because I'm lactose intolerant I used 3/4 cup of Tofutti cream cheese and 1/2 cup of Silk soy creamer. Also, I decided on caramelized red onions instead of leeks which were delicious. Judy's use of tomatoes sounds great too - I will incorporate that next time. If you're interested on how I made this quiche a dairy free meal, check out my entry on the lactosefreeladies on blogspot.

OMG I made this for my boyfriend and he ate the entire pie! He said "this taste like I'm at a restaurant and I've ordered it on the menu." I couldnt believe it when he ate the entire pie.. He said that he would but I didnt believe him. I only ate two small slices. LOL But it was worth the small effort because it made me happy to see him enjoy my first time making a quiche!

However, based on the reviews I read I decided to make a few changes so that it was as perfect as possible and indeed it worked! ... I only added 1/2 cream but also added 1/2 fat free milk, then I added 5 eggs, one half fresh diced tomatoes, 1 shallot and 6 garlics cloves.... This was so delicious! Just perfect! :

Very easy to make, tastes good, and "impressed" company. I didn't make the potato crust; just used regular pre-made pie crust. Oh and I skipped the leaks because I forgot to buy them, but it didn't taste like anything was missing. Thanks to the reviews on here, when I checked it at 30 minutes and it didn't look done, I comfortably let it go another 10 minutes. That was the perfect timing. And I think it tasted even better cold the next day.

This was the best Quiche I had ever eaten. So light and fluffy it was hard not to go for seconds. I will definetly make this recipe again.

First of all let me start by saying if you do not like the taste of smoked salmon do not try this recipe. I however love the taste of smoke salmon so this was perfect for me. I have made this for many Christmas's and it is a big hit with the smoked salmon lovers. This recipe is also nice because you can put in as much or as little of the smoked salmon without changing the consistency. Depending on your oven you may have to cook this quiche for longer than 30 min. I generally keep mine in until a fork comes out clean when stuck in the center of the quiche. I usually use premade crust and have not tried the potato crust as the quiche comes out great without the extra work. I do not understand the people that give this recipe a bad rating because it has too much flavor...it is SMOKED SALMON after all which is one of the most pungent things you can eat!

I made mine heathier which may have helped with the richness. I used just a tablespoon of smart balance in the potatoes and sauteed the onions and garlic in canola oil. Used fat free half and half instead of cream, low fat cream cheese and threw in another egg. I agree with cooking longer. Mine took a total of 50 minutes and you must let it set for the 20 minutes to set up. This was just wonderful and not too rich at all.

I've made this recipe quite a few times and just love it. You only need 1 leek and 4oz of salmon. Also, for those who think it is too creamy, cook it longer. I've found that the texture isn't quiche-like unless I cook it for 50mins vs 30mins. Use your best judgement-if it's not solid in the middle it's not done enough. The flavor is divine, perfect for brunch or dinner. Pair it with a good salad.

It looked good on TV, but when I tried it, my family and I agreed that it was just too rich. It was like eating an entree portion of salmon flavored cream cheese. Just too heavy. If you want quiche, this really isn't quiche. If you can make the filling only, it would be good as an appetizer (a dip.
