== Description ==
purchased from the Colvin Estate in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1989. Notation on card indicates this is a family favorite and made at last twice a month. Dated 1954.
== Ingredients ==
* 6 ounces smoked salmon
* 4 ounces cream cheese
* 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
* 1/2 cup grated asiago Cheese
* 3 eggs
* 1-1/2 cups light cream
* 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
Parmesan Crust: 
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small bits
* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 1/3 cup ice water
== Directions ==
# Heat oven to 425.
# To make crust, combine flour and salt in a food processor or mixing bowl.
# Add butter and process or combine with a fork until small particles are formed.
# Add grated Parmesan cheese and process briefly to combine.
# If using a food processor, transfer the contents to a mixing bowl.
# Add cold water and mix to make a ball of dough.
# Sprinkle about 3 tablespoons flour on a board and roll the dough into a 12-inch circle.
# Transfer dough to 10-inch tart pan or quiche pan.
# Lay a piece of foil inside, and put dried beans inside the foil.
# This keeps the crust from puffing up when it bakes.
# Bake the crust for 8 minutes.
# Remove the foil and beans and bake 2 to 3 minutes longer.
# Remove from oven and allow to cool while making the filling.
# Reduce oven temperature to 350.
# For filling, spread crumbled smoked salmon over crust.
# Cut cream cheese into bits and scatter over salmon.
# Sprinkle with Swiss cheese and Asiago Cheese.
# Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl. Add the cream, salt, pepper and dill. Pour into crust.
# Bake the quiche until golden brown and puffed, 40 to 45 minutes.
# Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
