Salmon and broccoli quiche

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make quiche with salmon and broccoli? Measure out the necessary ingredients for the shortbread dough. Butter should be cold.

2. Step 2:

   

   In a suitable sized bowl, sift the flour so that it is enriched with oxygen.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add cold butter to the sifted flour.

4. Step 4:

   

   Quickly rub everything with your hands until you get crumbly crumbs. It is very important not to delay the process so that the oil does not melt from the heat of the hands. Then the shortbread dough after baking will turn out crumbly and tender. You can make sand crumbs in the bowl of a blender.

5. Step 5:

   

   In a small bowl, whisk the egg with salt with a fork until smooth.

6. Step 6:

   

   Add the beaten egg to the sand crumbs. Knead the dough quickly. If you can see when kneading that the dough turns out to be somewhat steep, add a spoonful of cold water.

7. Step 7:

   

   You don't need to knead the dough for a long time. Assemble the dough into a ball, place it in a bag or wrap it with cling film. Put the dough in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

8. Step 8:

   

   Roll out the cooled dough between two layers of food film or parchment into a round layer about 5 mm thick. The size of the formation should be larger than the size of the mold used for baking the cake.

9. Step 9:

   

   Cover the bottom of the mold with a diameter of 20-22 cm with parchment. Transfer the dough to the mold, form the sides about 3 cm high. Prick the dough with a fork so that it does not rise during baking. You can additionally cover the dough with parchment and pour dry cargo (peas, beans).

10. Step 10:

    

    Bake the cake base in a preheated 200C oven for about 15 minutes. If baked with a load, then the load must be removed earlier so that the bottom is baked better. The baking time and mode may be different. Focus on the features of your oven.

12. Step 11:

    

    While the base is baking, prepare the filling for the pie. I have previously cleaned the fish from the skin and bones. For this pie I used fresh fish, you can take lightly salted or smoked, but then you will need to adjust the amount of salt. Broccoli can be used both fresh and frozen.

13. Step 12:

    

    Cut the salmon fillet into small cubes.

14. Step 13:

    

    If the cabbage is frozen, it is not necessary to defrost it before cooking. Rinse the broccoli inflorescences, dip them in boiling salted water. Blanch the cabbage over moderate heat for 3-4 minutes. Flip the broccoli on a sieve to drain the water.

15. Step 14:

    

    Wash the eggs, dry them. Beat the eggs with cream until smooth.

16. Step 15:

    

    Add salt to the filling, add nutmeg (optional), mix.

17. Step 16:

    

    Put the pieces of salmon on the baked base.

18. Step 17:

    

    Distribute the broccoli inflorescences.

19. Step 18:

    

    Fill the filling with egg-cream filling.

20. Step 19:

    

    Put the quiche in a preheated 180C oven for 30-35 minutes. The filling should thicken well and brown at the edges. Cool the finished cake a little and take it out of the mold.

21. Step 20:

    

    Cut the quiche into portions and serve to the table. It can be eaten both warm and cold. Enjoy your meal!
