ASPARAGUS QUICHE



Asparagus Quiche image

There's nothing I like better than getting all my housework done and "cooking up a storm" in the kitchen. I was raised in a farming community that had many asparagus growers. So I've always made sure that there's an ample supply of asparagus in my freezer! My husband is a grain farmer, and we have four grown children and 13 grandchildren.

SALMON & ASPARAGUS QUICHE WITH A CHEDDAR CRUST



Salmon & Asparagus Quiche with a Cheddar Crust image

Good gluten-free quiche pastries can be tricky to make: this recipe solves all problems, and is super easy to boot.

Provided by Justine Wall

Time 1h3m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 36

60g rice flour
60g plain gluten free flour
85g salted butter, chilled, cut into cubes
1/2 tsp table salt
Good grinding black pepper
1 tsp Cayenne pepper
2 tbsp cold water
60g rice flour
60g plain gluten free flour
85g salted butter, chilled, cut into cubes
1/2 tsp table salt
Good grinding black pepper
1 tsp Cayenne pepper
2 tbsp cold water
125g cooked salmon
10 asparagus spears, tailed, then chopped into 2cm pieces
2 eggs
200ml double cream
Pinch Maldon salt
Good grinding black pepper
Small handful fresh dill, finely chopped
60g rice flour
60g plain gluten free flour
85g salted butter, chilled, cut into cubes
1/2 tsp table salt
Good grinding black pepper
1 tsp Cayenne pepper
2 tbsp cold water
125g cooked salmon
10 asparagus spears, tailed, then chopped into 2cm pieces
2 eggs
200ml double cream
Pinch Maldon salt
Good grinding black pepper
Small handful fresh dill, finely chopped
Extra fresh dill, finely chopped

Steps:

  • To make the crust, simply rub the butter and cheese into the dry ingredients as you would for scones: it may take a little while, but it's worth it.
  • Add the water once you have mixed the butter and cheese in well, and bring together in a bowl using your hands to make a dough.
  • Line your quiche tin with the dough- I break the dough up into pieces, dot it about the tin, and then I press it all together. Unlike gluten based doughs, if you roll this dough out, it tends to break up. Also, unlike gluten based doughs, not a lot of shrinkage occurs, so you don't need to make the dough overlap your edges at all- push it in snugly, and flatten it well- and will keep its shape when baked.
  • Once the tin is lined well with the dough, and you have pressed it in well, place a paper disc at the bottom of the dough and line with baking beans or rice- whatever you generally use.
  • Bake with the beans for 20 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees celsius, then remove the parchment and beans, and bake uncovered for a further 8 minutes. Remove and allow to cool while you make the filling.
  • Mix the eggs, seasoning, dill and cream in a jug- beat lightly with a fork. Flake the cooked salmon into a bowl, add the chopped asparagus and the egg mixture. Set aside.
  • Once the pastry base is ready after its second baking, pour the mixture into the tin, and bake again for 20 minutes, until lightly golden on top.
  • Remember, it is essential to allow the quiche to rest before serving: the custard will set further and create an easy to slice quiche. Sprinkle with fresh dill, and you're ready to go.

1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped chives
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded white Cheddar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Roll out pie dough and mold into an 11-inch pie dish, crimping the edges to make ridges. Pierce the dough with a fork several times.

Tips:

  • Use fresh asparagus for the best flavor.
  • Trim the asparagus spears by snapping off the woody ends.
  • Blanch the asparagus spears in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the asparagus spears into 1-inch pieces.
  • Use a cheese blend that melts well, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Swiss.
  • Grate the cheese yourself for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a deep-dish pie plate for the quiche so that the filling doesn't overflow.
  • Bake the quiche in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set.
  • Let the quiche cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
