Leek and Salmon Quiche image

I adapted this from a recipe I found in an old Reader's Digest magazine. It's good served cold as picnic food, or warm as a meal with salad or vegetables. You can sprinkle it with grated cheese if you like.

Time 1h25m

Yield 1 quiche, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 pinch salt
90 g butter, cut into cubes
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon cold water
60 g butter
2 leeks, washed and sliced
1 (210 g) can smoked salmon (I use pink)
3 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup cream
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tomatoes, sliced (optional)

Steps:

  • Sift the flour and salt into a bowl.
  • Rub in the butter, until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Add the egg yolk and the water, keep kneading until the dough gathers into a ball.
  • Turn onto a lightly floured surface and continue to knead.
  • Chill in the fridge for about 10- 15 minutes.
  • Roll out the pastry, and use it to line a quiche dish (about 20-25cms).
  • Cover with baking paper, and fill with rice or beans, or pie weights.
  • Bake blind for 7- 10 mins at 190 degrees C.
  • Melt the butter in a frying pan, then fry the leeks until softened, but not browned (about 3 mins).
  • Drain the salmon, and remove the bones.
  • You can remove the skin also, but I usually leave it on.
  • Beat eggs with cream, season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the rice or weights from the quiche crust and scatter the leeks over the bottom.
  • top with the salmon.
  • Evenly pour over the eggs and cream.
  • Slice the tomato into rounds and spread evenly over the top of the quiche (Sprinkle with grated cheese if you like).
  • Bake in a 180 degree C.
  • oven for 35- 40 mins, or until the quiche is golden-brown, and it is not runny when the centre is tested with the point of a knife.

Overall, I thought this quiche was pretty good. It was easy to make and the flavors were nice. However, I found the crust to be a bit too thick and the filling to be a bit too runny.

The quiche was good, but not great. The flavors were a bit muted and the texture was slightly dry. I think I would have preferred a different recipe.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There were too many ingredients and steps involved. I ended up with a quiche that was just okay.

This quiche was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
