Salmon Crunch Pie
Description
This Salmon Crunch Pie offers a delightful contrast between a smooth, savory custard filling and a textured, crunchy topping. The filling combines flaked salmon with Swiss cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise for a luxurious mouthfeel, while the crust delivers a savory crunch from chopped walnuts and sharp cheddar. It’s an elegant yet comforting dish that feels special enough for dinner parties but is simple enough for a weekend family meal. Serve it warm to enjoy the best texture contrast between the soft filling and the crisp topping.Ingredients
