8 lg.-jumbo eggs
8oz. Neufchatel cheese*
1t Old Bay Seasoning
1t fresh ground garlic salt
1t fresh ground black pepper
1t dry dill
2t dry tarragon
3-4c celery, green onion, purple
~ onion, and carrot sliced-chopped
1 lg. roasted red pepper - chopped
12oz. salmon - smoked is best
Leave the cream cheese at room temp for a couple hours. *Neufchatel is French cream cheese, made in the Normandy region since the 6th century. It has less calories and fat than the American version. In a medium bowl, combine that and the eggs, using a fork and then a wire whisk. Add spices and continue to blend as you prep and assemble the remaining ingredients. Cut the salmon into long strips, then chop into small cubes. Put these in a well buttered 9"x13" glass baking pan.
Add the chopped-sliced vegetables. Whisk the egg mixture one more time then quickly, but carefully, pour it over everything in the pan. Arrange anything that might have floated out of place, being sure the whole pan is evenly covered with all ingredients. Bake at 325° ( -?- I forgot to set the timer 😕) Bake until the edges begin to brown and a toothpick inserted in the center area comes out clean. Probably 30-40 minutes.
Check often though, after 20 minutes. You want it just firm, but not so done that it's dry. Cut into 12 squares, each of which contains about 150 calories. . .Lin
