I have often heard the phrase that real men do not eat quiche, my boys thought that was funny and started calling it man pie. I guess that could easily be construed as something strange, but I thought it was funny. If you can't find hot-smoked salmon, cold-smoked will also be scrumptious, although it will lose some of its silky texture once it's baked. The high-sided, free-form crust makes this spring quiche an especially elegant addition to brunch. This hearty salmon and potato quiche is perfectly portable for picnics and lunchboxes.
