Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Quiche for Canada Day!! Over the next three days, we will do a little Canada celebration, maybe not with your typical red and white themes but what is more Canadian than salmon.
From the east coast of Canada to the rivers of BC and beyond we have SALMON and we love this fish.
Canada is a country that is very diversified and in celebrating that so is this quiche. Taking from a french background with the quiche theme but adding in something you don’t normally see, the ingredients to bagels and cream cheese, I discovered an awesome meal with this quiche.
Quiche can be served for brunch, lunch, or dinner so it is perfect for our Canada Day long weekend.
The smokey fish pairs so nicely with the creamy cheese. The capers add the right saltiness to the dish and the onions add a little pungent bite.
Served with some fresh greens and a cold cucumber salad like this Finnish Cucumber Salad you have a great multi-cultural feast!!
HAPPY CANADA DAY!! ENJOY!!!

Does this recipe only call for 2 oz cream cheese? Thanks for your advice.
Tara Noland says
Yes, this isn’t a huge quiche so that amount seems to work very well but feel free to add more if you like. We just made this again a week ago, so good.
