Instructions

Step 1

Make the Dough

Start by combining all-purpose flour with cold butter that's been cut into small pieces for easier mixing.

Gradually mix until you achieve a crumbly texture. Add in the finely chopped fresh dill and then the cold water, mixing quickly to form a dough.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes or freeze it for 10 minutes if you're short on time.

Step 2

Prepare the Quiche Base

Once your dough is ready, roll it out to a thickness of 2-3 millimeters and carefully place it into a 22 cm (9 inch) tart pan. Make sure to prick the base with a fork to prevent it from puffing up.

Cover the pastry with parchment paper and add weights (like beans or peas) on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (355 degrees Fahrenheit) for 20 minutes in bake mode, not convection.

Step 3

Fill the Quiche

Once the base is done, remove the weights and let it cool for a few minutes. Begin layering your ingredients: add the salmon, followed by blanched broccoli, mozzarella, and cherry tomatoes.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, and your preferred spices. Pour this creamy mixture over the layered ingredients.

Step 4

Bake the Quiche

Return the quiche to the oven and bake at 180 degrees Celsius (355 degrees Fahrenheit) for an additional 35-40 minutes, using the convection setting if available.

After baking, let the quiche cool slightly before removing it from the pan and serving. Enjoy your delicious creation!
