Smoked Salmon and Dill Quiche

There are few foods that it is totally acceptable to eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Not pizza, or cold cereal you freaks! But quiche is a savory, light, and elegant (this can be said about food right?) dish that really works as a part of any meal.

So, I tend to make this often, and I tend to make it a variety of ways, adding whatever random things I have in the fridge to it; a vegetable, some meat, an interesting cheese, or the fresh herbs leftover from whatever I cooked last night…but this particular version is one that I have returned to often. With a unique presentation of classic flavors, it tends to impress.

What follows includes a recipe for a savory pie crust. Use of a frozen crust is deserving of corporal punishment! Unless you just don’t have the patience.

The perfect crust for any quiche

Ingredients

2 Cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup cold water

Directions

In a large bowl or food processor mix the flour and salt, add the olive oil, and stir with a fork or pulse to combine to form coarse crumbs.
Add the cold water about a tablespoon at a time; stirring or pulsing until dough comes together.
Move dough to a lightly floured flat surface and knead until smooth. Wrap it in plastic and refrigerate one hour before using.
