Salmon Artichoke Quiche

salmon artichoke quicheI have never had good luck with quiche recipes… until I tried this one, smoked salmon, goat cheese and artichoke quiche. They always turn out runny, no matter what I do! I almost gave up on making quiche, except that my husband loves it so much. Now, I personally LOVE goat cheese, and loved that this recipe incorporated it instead of your usual Swiss or Gruyere. It was incredibly flavorful! I know not everyone likes goat cheese, but I am sure one of the other cheeses would still go well with this recipe.

This quiche recipe is a little time-intensive, but I promise it is so worth the effort in the end!!

I also made a new discovery (don’t make fun of me that I am just realizing this now): My stand mixer is AMAZING at making dough! No more pastry blender needed. I just cubed the butter and added all of the ingredients in, and used my flat paddle attachment to mix up some crumbly dough. It is so much easier than how I was making it before!!

Next step: while refrigerating the dough for the crust, sauté the leek and artichoke in a small amount of oil or butter until browned.

Here is the secret step to getting a firm quiche: bake half of the egg mixture until slightly firm, then top with the rest of the ingredients!
