NANCY'S FRESH SALMON QUICHE PIE
First time I made this quiche was for a friend who came over for lunch many years ago. She still remembers it and it's been over 20 years ago. I guess it's good. This quiche matches well with a side salad of crisp greens and a tangy dressing. It's also meant to be served for brunch or breakfast to spruce-ya-up!

- Roll out onto a floured surface to fit a 9" quiche or pie pan.
- Fit pie crust in pan and refrigerate until ready to use. (Can be refrigerated a day ahead, making sure to cover with plastic wrap).
- FOR FILLING: Preheat oven 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Sprinkle breadcrumbs over bottom of unbaked crust.
- In a medium bowl, mix Parmesan and Swiss cheese. Distribute the cheeses evenly over breadcrumbs.

- In a bowl, mix eggs, half-and-half, salt and pepper until blended and pour over contents in pie shell.
- Sprinkle chopped dill over top.

Tips:
- Use the right carrots. Choose firm, deep-orange carrots for the best flavor and texture.
- Grate the carrots finely. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too stringy.
- Don't overcook the carrots. They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
- Use a good quality butter. This will give the pie a rich, flavorful crust.
- Don't skimp on the spices. The spices are what give the pie its distinctive flavor, so be generous with them.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the crust to set.
Conclusion:
Carrot pie is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet, spicy flavor and flaky crust, it's the perfect pie for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a delicious and comforting dessert, give carrot pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
