Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g salmon fillet
- 4 large eggs
- 120 ml whole milk
- 60 ml heavy cream
- 80 g cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon fillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, and break it into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Gently stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, and flaked salmon.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30-35 minutes, or until the center of the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden.
Let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
