Smoked Salmon and Asparagus Quiche
This Smoked Salmon & Asparagus Quiche is a light, flavorful dish made with buttery puff pastry, creamy eggs, fresh dill, and tender asparagus. Perfect for brunch, lunch, or any time you want something elegant yet easy.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 100 g smoked salmon torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1 (400) g bunch of asparagus (preferably thin spears) chopped into small pieces
- 4 large eggs
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 50 g grated cheddar cheese
- 1 small red onion thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Prep the pastry: Roll out the puff pastry and gently press it into a tart or pie dish. Use a fork to prick a few holes in the base to prevent bubbling. Pre-bake the pastry for about 8 minutes until it starts to turn lightly golden. Set aside.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, cheddar cheese, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the quiche: Spread the chopped asparagus and sliced red onion evenly over the pastry base. Gently pour the egg mixture on top. Finish by scattering the smoked salmon pieces and asparagus tips across the surface.
- Bake: Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is beautifully golden.
- Cool & serve: Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature – perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner.
