This Bagel and Lox Quiche with Matzo Pie Crust combines traditional Jewish flavors into a savory, comforting brunch or lunch dish. The matzo crust offers a unique crunch and texture, while the creamy quiche filling features lox, cream cheese, chives, and everything bagel seasoning for a deliciously indulgent treat.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Matzo Pie Crust

  • 4 sheets Matzo (egg or regular)
  • 1 stick butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Quiche Filling

  • 1/4 pound Lox (chopped)
  • 1 bunch Chives (chopped, divided)
  • 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel Seasoning
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened at room temperature)
  • 5 eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Blend Matzo: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the matzo sheets in a blender and pulse until they reach a sand-like texture.
  2. Form the Pie Crust Dough: Add melted butter and 1 teaspoon salt to the blended matzo in the blender and blend until the mixture forms a dough.
  3. Press Crust into Pie Dish: Transfer the matzo dough into a pie dish, pressing evenly across the bottom and up the sides to form the crust.
  4. Bake the Matzo Crust: Place the pie dish on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Keep an eye on the crust to prevent burning; if it begins to brown too much, cover with foil. Remove and let cool for a few minutes.
  5. Mix the Quiche Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine chopped lox, softened cream cheese, eggs, heavy cream, chopped chives (reserve some for topping), everything bagel seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until ingredients are incorporated, though it’s fine if some cream cheese pieces remain chunky.
  6. Fill and Bake the Quiche: Pour the quiche mixture into the cooled matzo crust, smoothing the top gently. Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Garnish with additional chopped chives and serve warm. Enjoy your flavorful Bagel and Lox Quiche!

Notes

  • Use regular or egg matzo depending on preference; both work well.
  • Watch the crust carefully while pre-baking to avoid burning.
  • It’s okay if cream cheese pieces remain somewhat chunky in the filling for texture.
  • The quiche is best served warm but can be refrigerated and reheated.
  • Everything bagel seasoning can be adjusted to taste or substituted with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and dried onion flakes.
