Mini Salmon Quiche

Mini Salmon Quiche

Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter chilled and cubed
  • 2-3 tablespoons ice cold water
  • Pinch of salt

For the Filling

  • 1/2 cup smoked salmon chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar or Gruyere cheese
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped dill to garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a mini muffin tin.
  • In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry blender to work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Slowly add the ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. (Don’t overwork it, or you’ll lose that flaky texture!)
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into small circles to fit into your mini muffin tin.
  • Press the dough circles into each muffin cup, forming little crusts. Prick the bottoms with a fork to prevent puffing.
  • Pop the tin in the fridge while you prepare the filling.

Make the Filling

  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Take the muffin tin out of the fridge. Place a little bit of chopped salmon and grated cheese into each mini crust.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the salmon and cheese, filling each crust nearly to the top.

Bake to Perfection

  • Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the quiches are set and slightly golden on top.
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before carefully popping them out of the tin.
  • Garnish with chopped dill and serve warm or at room temperature.
