Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 ounces (113 grams) smoked salmon
- 5 large eggs
- 2 ounces (57 grams) cream cheese or goat cheese
- 1 cup milk
Crust Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 1/2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon capers, chopped
- 1/2 cup tomatoes, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 375°F and lightly greasing a 9- or 10-inch pie plate.
- Combine flour varieties with seasoning in a mixing bowl, creating a uniform dry mixture.
- Whisk together oil and water, then gradually incorporate into the flour mixture until a cohesive dough forms.
- Carefully press the dough into the prepared pie plate, ensuring an even and smooth crust.
- In a separate bowl, thoroughly whisk eggs with milk, chopped dill, and salt until well blended.
- Gently fold capers and diced tomatoes into the egg mixture, distributing ingredients evenly.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared crust, maintaining a consistent depth.
- Strategically dot the surface with cheese and delicately arrange salmon pieces across the top.
- Transfer the quiche to the preheated oven and bake for 53-55 minutes until the filling is set and edges are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes, which helps the quiche stabilize and makes slicing easier.
Notes
- Experiment with gluten-free flour blends to make the crust suitable for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Swap traditional dairy milk with plant-based alternatives like almond or oat milk for a vegan-friendly version.
- Add extra herbs like chives or parsley to boost the fresh flavor profile and enhance the quiche’s aromatic qualities.
- Ensure salmon is evenly distributed and gently pressed into the filling to prevent dry edges and create a consistent texture throughout the dish.
