If you're watching your calorie or carb intake, you can make the "quiche" without pastry. It's still delicious.

Making the crust

1. roll the pastry out with a rolling pin and line a quiche or pie plate;
2. cover with aluminum foil and a cup of dry beans; bake in a hot (240ºC. (500º F.) oven for 5 minutes; remove the beans and foil; bake 5 minutes longer; remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 180ºC. (350º F.) for the quiche.

Preparing and cooking the quiche

1. whisk together the cream and eggs; add the cheese and smoked salmon; 
2. pour the mixture into the crust; bake at 180ºC. (350º F.) for 20 minutes; serve hot.
