  • Mix the eggs with the cream and the cheese.
  • Cut the fish into slices or strips.
  • Add the fish and the onion to the cream cheese mass, and mix.

  • Spread the filling. I additionally spread a few pieces of fish and onions ot top.
  • Bake the quiche in the oven preheated to 180C (356F) for 45 minutes. Then turn off the upper heat, and bake the quiche for another 10 minutes at 150C (302F).
