ReceptnaptárQuiche au saumon fumé (smoked salmon quiche)

Ingredients
Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Rub the flour, salt and cold butter cubes into crumbs, add the yolk and water and quickly bring together into a dough; wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll the pastry out 3 mm thick and line a 24 cm tart tin, bringing the edge up; prick with a fork and chill for another 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 190 °C (175 °C fan); blind bake the pastry covered with baking paper and baking beans for 12 minutes, then remove the paper and bake 5 minutes more.
- Soften the leek in a little butter for 3 minutes and scatter it over the pastry, then add the salmon and the cheese.
- Whisk the eggs with the cream, milk, dill, salt, pepper and nutmeg and pour over the filling.
- Bake at 180 °C (165 °C fan) for 30–35 minutes until set and golden; rest for 10 minutes and serve warm or lukewarm.

Tips
- Blind baking the pastry stops the filling soaking through: do not skip it.
- Add the smoked salmon only to the filling; overbaking dries it out.
- Mix the egg custard gently, not to a froth.
- Keeps in the fridge for 3 days; good cold.
