Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Premade pie crust
- 150 grams Smoked salmon
- 4 large Eggs
- 240 milliliters Heavy cream
- 120 milliliters Whole milk
- 100 grams Shredded Gruyère cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the premade pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch tart or pie pan. Trim the edges and prick the base lightly with a fork.
Blind bake the crust by lining it with parchment paper and filling it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the weights and bake for another 5 minutes. Set the crust aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Stir in the shredded Gruyère cheese, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper.
Tear the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly across the bottom of the pre-baked crust.
Carefully pour the egg and cream mixture over the smoked salmon in the crust, making sure it spreads evenly.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired, and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
