Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pre-made pastry crust
- 200 grams salmon fillet (cooked and flaked)
- 120 grams fresh spinach
- 4 large eggs
- 240 ml heavy cream
- 120 ml milk
- 100 grams grated Gruyere cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made pastry crust into a 9-inch tart or quiche pan, pressing it gently into the sides. Trim any excess dough and prick the base with a fork. Line the crust with parchment paper and add pie weights or dried beans. Blind bake for 10 minutes, then remove weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
Spread the cooked and flaked salmon evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked crust. Top with the wilted spinach, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the grated Gruyere cheese over the salmon and spinach mixture.
Slowly pour the egg and cream mixture over the filling, ensuring it is evenly distributed and does not overflow the crust.
Carefully transfer the quiche to the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
