Ingredients
Ingredients
canned salmon
7 1/2 ounces (skin and bones removed, flaked)
frozen peas
1 cup (thawed)
green onion
1/4 cup (chopped)
large eggs
4 (beaten)
milk
1 1/2 cups (none)
biscuit mix
1 1/2 cups (none)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 10-inch pie plate thoroughly to prevent sticking.
2
Carefully remove the skin and any round bones from the canned salmon, then flake the salmon into small pieces.
3
In the greased pie plate, layer the flaked salmon evenly across the bottom. Follow with the thawed peas and chopped green onion, ensuring an even distribution throughout.
4
In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, reserved salmon juice, and biscuit mix. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and well-combined.
5
Pour the blended mixture gently over the layered salmon, peas, and onion in the pie plate, ensuring it seeps down into the layers.
6
To catch any spills, place the filled pie plate on a jelly roll pan before placing it in the oven.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes. The quiche is ready when a knife inserted halfway between the center and the edge comes out clean.
8
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing into 6 wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with hot ketchup or your choice of sauce.
