Smoked Salmon and Zucchini Quiche Recipe

How can you go wrong with smoked salmon quiche recipes?  It turns a simple meal into a gourmet feast. This smoked salmon and zucchini quiche is one of my favorite dishes of all time as it is dense in protein, healthy fats, and vitamins. I like my quiche to be tasty and inexpensive.  This quiche meets all the conditions. A petite piece of salmon or so can feed up to 6 people. The zucchini adds taste along with the goat cheese and olive oil bring it all together with a wonderful freshness. The perfect combination to take this salmon zucchini flavored quiche to the next level.
