     1/2  recipe        Basic Pie Crust Dough -- see recipe
   1 1/2  cups          grated Parmesan cheese
     1/3  pound         smoked salmon
   3                    green onions -- chopped
   8                    eggs
   8      ounces        cream cheese -- softened
   2      ounces        goat cheese
   1 1/2  cups          evaporated milk
     1/2  teaspoon      freshly ground pepper
   2      tablespoons   chopped fresh basil

Line a 10-inch pie plate with the pie pastry, trimming and fluting the edge. Bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes or until partially baked.

Sprinkle with half the Parmesan cheese. Layer with the salmon and green onions.

Beat the eggs, cream cheese and goat cheese in a mixer bowl until smooth. Add the evaporated milk and pepper, beating well.

Pour over the layers. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and the basil.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Authors Note:

Our chef, Brant, and I love this sinfully rich quiche. We often make it as a lunch special, but it is also great when prepared as mini-quiches for hors d'oeuvre.
