Sunday Small Bites #6 - Smoked Salmon

Smoked Salmon Mini-Quiches

Smoked%20salmon%205.jpg

This was "my" ingredient week, and I took inspiration from the smoked salmon that we brought back from Alaska in June, nicely vacuum-packed and awaiting a reason to eat same. I am the big smoked salmon fan in our family, coming from a lox and bagels tradition, but David is not a fan of the cured salmon laying prettily atop cream cheese and said bagel. He does, however, like it smoked, and presented cooked in omelets, souffles, quiche, that sort of thing.

So I found variations on recipes for making mini-quiches and adapted them into one that I thought we would both enjoy. I also had a mini-muffin pan in the cupboard, another inspiration for the recipe. Unlike some of my other small bite recipes, the ones that could be more than a bite or two, this one is definitely a small bite.

Here is the recipe:

Smoked Salmon Mini Quiches

Ingredients

½ cup baking mix
½ cup low-fat milk
½ cup low-fat sour cream
½ tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup low-fat smoked Gruyere cheese, grated
4 oz. smoked salmon, cut into small pieces
1 tsp fresh chives, chopped
1 tsp. fresh dill, chopped

Directions

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 24 mini-muffin cup pan with cooking spray.

In medium bowl, combine baking mix, milk, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce and eggs until blended; gently stir in remaining ingredients. Fill each muffin cup evenly (it may be to the top). Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes and then remove from pan. Chill leftovers.

Makes 24
