Ingredients :
- 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade)
- 4 oz smoked salmon (flaked)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
- 1/2 cup grated Gruyère or cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Method :
1. Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190°C) Pie Crust: Roll out the pie crust and fit into a 9 inch pie dish. Crack open the grape seed, prick it with a fork and put in oven for 10 minutes.
2. Prepare the filling:
- In a mixing bowl whisk the eggs, cream, salt pepper and nutmeg well together. The combination of the chopped dill, green onions and grated cheese give it that extra burst.
3. Assemble the quiche:
- Distribute the flaked smoked salmon over the pre-basked pie crust. Pour the liquid eggs over the salmon so that it covers everything evenly.
4. Bake the quiche:
- Put the quiche in an oven preheated to 350F and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the center is just set and top a little golden. It is done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Cool and serve:
- Remove quiche from oven and allow it to rest for ten minutes before slicing. Serve over extra dill or side salad to finish the dish.
Presentation Tips:
- Warm or at room temperature alongside a spice plate of mixed greens, stuff peppers/vegetables.
- To finish it off, add a tiny piece of smoked salmon to each slice and tuck in a small sprig of dill.
