Note

Ensure the quiche base is blind-baked if using a raw pastry shell to prevent sogginess.

For best results, use high-quality heavy cream for a richer texture, though half-and-half works as a lighter alternative.

Allow the quiche to cool for 5âÂÂ10 minutes before slicing to help the filling set properly.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.

Feel free to add other herbs like dill or chives to complement the lemon and salmon flavors.
