SALMON ASPARAGUS QUICHE
This is pretty to look at and easy to make. Recipe has been used for at least 15 years. I'm not a canned salmon lover but my husband is -- even I like this! I use a 9" store-bought deep-dish pie shell, since I flunked making home-made shells.....

QUICHE AUX ASPERGES ET SAUMON (ASPARAGUS & SALMON QUICHE)
Most Icelandic asparagus recipes use canned asparagus as fresh asparagus is usually only available in very up-scale grocery stores at a price most would refuse to pay. However, this recipe from *French Bistro and Cafe Cooking* by Pierre-Yves Chupin would make such a purchase worthwhile, for me at least. *Enjoy* !

SALMON QUICHE
My father made this while I was growing up on the holidays for family who didn't like turkey or ham. It's become a staple in my holiday dinners as well. I have never served it to someone who didn't love it and beg for the family recipe after. We always make two and freeze one for later! It is excellent paired with a side of grilled asparagus.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put a baking sheet in the oven to heat up. Dust a clean work surface with flour, then roll out 600g of the pastry to line a 20 x 30cm tin. Trim the edges with scissors so that the pastry sits 2-3mm higher than the sides of the tin. Prick the surface all over with a fork, then line with baking parchment and add an even layer of baking beans. Place on the hot baking sheet and blind-bake for 15 mins.
- Meanwhile, roll out the remaining pastry and any off-cuts, cut into strips and plait together. Take the tin out of the oven, remove the baking beans and brush all over with a thin layer of beaten egg. Stick the pastry plaits onto the edges, brush with beaten egg and return to the oven for another 15 mins until cooked through but not brown.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter in a frying pan over a low heat and add the onion. Cook gently for 15-20 mins or until soft, then stir in the fennel seeds and take off the heat. Leave to cool in the pan.
- Remove the tart case from the oven and set aside while you cook the rest of the filling. Add the asparagus to a large sauté pan, cover with 2-3cm water, bring to a simmer and cook for 5 mins. Drain, then rinse in cold water to cool down quickly. Leave to dry on kitchen paper. Put the empty pan back on the hob, add the milk and salmon, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 4 mins, turning once.
- Carefully take the salmon out of the milk and lay on a plate. Pour the milk into a large heatproof jug and set aside. Spoon the onion and fennel seeds in an even layer across the base of the pastry case. Add the asparagus and, when the salmon is cool enough to handle, break chunks of it over the asparagus. Add the cream to the milk along with the rest of the eggs, the dill and lemon zest, then season. Pour the mixture into the pastry case, top with the cheese, then carefully put back in the oven for 45 mins-1 hr or until the filling is set and the cheese on top is turning golden. Serve warm or cold with a fennel and rocket salad.

MICHELE'S (ASPARAGUS, BACON, OR SALMON) CRUSTLESS QUICHE
This is the best and CREAMIEST crust-less quiche I've ever eaten and I eat a lot of quiche! I asked my friend, Michele, to share her recipe with Zaar and she was kind enough to oblige. Thanks, girlfriend! Top this yummy quiche with tinned asparagus, chopped bacon, or tinned salmon. It makes it's own "crust" as it cooks. Very nice with a green salad on the side.

SALMON QUICHE
Meet the Cook: This recipe came to me from my mother - it's the kind you request after just one bite! Unlike some quiches, it's also hearty enough that it appeals equally to both woman and men. Cooking is something that I've always liked. I pore over cookbooks the way other people read novels! In addition, I collect antique kitchen utensils.

SALMON & ASPARAGUS QUICHE WITH A CHEDDAR CRUST

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.

- over the spring onions. Arrange the asparagus on top, then carefully pour on the creamy mixture

ASPARAGUS QUICHE
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.

Tips:
- For a Flaky Crust: Use a combination of butter and lard, and keep the dough cold. Grate the butter into the flour mixture, then use your fingertips to work it in until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Blind Bake the Crust: This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy. Line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15-20 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for another 5-10 minutes.
- Use Fresh Asparagus: Look for asparagus that is bright green and has tightly closed tips. Avoid asparagus that is limp or has woody stems.
- Cook the Asparagus Properly: Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most common methods are boiling, roasting, and steaming. Boiling is the quickest method, but it can also make the asparagus mushy. Roasting and steaming are better options for preserving the asparagus's flavor and texture.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the asparagus, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the asparagus from cooking evenly.
- Use a Good Quality Cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in a quiche, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that will melt well. Gruyère, cheddar, and Parmesan are all good choices.
- Don't Overcook the Quiche: The quiche is done when the center is set and the top is golden brown. Overcooking the quiche will make it dry and rubbery.
Conclusion:
Quiche aux asperges et saumon is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover asparagus and salmon, and it's also a perfect dish for a potluck or picnic. With a few simple tips, you can make a quiche that is both delicious and beautiful.
