Mini Salmon Quiches
Mini Salmon Quiches are a simple yet elegant treat that will make any occasion feel extra special.
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsalted butter chilled and cubed
- 203 tbsp ice cold water
- pinch of salt
For the Filling:
- ½ cup smoked salmon chopped
- ½ cup grated cheese or Gruyere cheese
- 4 medium eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- salt and pepper to taste
- chopped dill garnish
Instructions
For the Crust:
- Preheat the 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 blend gently until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice-cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into circles to fit your mini muffin tin cups.
- Press the dough circles into the cups, forming mini crusts. Prick the bottoms with a fork to prevent puffing. Place in the fridge while you work on the filling.
For the Filling:
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place a small amount of chopped salmon and grated cheese into each mini crust.
- Pour the egg mixture over the salmon and cheese, filling each crust almost to the top.
- Place the muffin tin into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the quiches are set and slightly golden on top.
- Once done, allow to cool for a few minutes, then carefully remove the mini quiches from the muffin tin.
- Garnish with chopped dill before serving.
