Salmon Quiche Muffins


Estee Kafra has become one of my favorite cookbook authors.  Every recipe, I have tried from her cookbooks has been easy to make and delicious to eat.  I came across this quiche recipe but I did not need a pie.  I was looking for minis but the recipe was so appealing, I decided to turn it into a muffin-like creation.  I removed the crust instructions and pretty much kept to the recipe.

 This is a new way and I think, a good one, to use salmon.  

Salmon Quiche  Muffins   by Estee Kafra, Cooking with Color

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs salmon fillet (skin on)
1 small lemon
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Filling:

1/2 cup light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons almond milk or milk
3 tablespoons Tofutti  Better Than Cream Cheese
2 tablespoons flour
3 eggs
3 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, finely minced
1/4 teaspoon salt

Method:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Rinse salmon and pat dry. Place salmon in a shallow baking dish and squeeze lemon juice over it. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover tightly and bake for 20 minutes.

When salmon is done , remove skin and put in a food processor. Cool slightly. Blend for a short time until the pieces are small and uniform, slightly chunky.

Combine all the ingredients for the filling (except the salmon) and mix very well until there are no lumps.

Add the salmon to the filling and mix until combined.

Pour filling mixture into the prepared crust and bake for half an hour. Cut into wedges and serve.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
