Ingredients
Filling:
- 10 oz salmon fresh
- 3 shallots minced
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp cracked black pepper
- ¼ cup white wine
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup light sour cream
- 2 tsp French tarragon dried
- ¾ cup Swiss cheese
- pinch of ground caraway
Crust:
- 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp water ice cold
- 7 Tbsp unsalted butter cold, cut into small pieces
- ¼ tsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Prepare the quiche crust:
- In a food processor place flour, salt and butter. Pulse until mixture becomes a fine meal. Add the vinegar and the iced water. Keep pulsing until the mixture comes together.
- Remove from food processor and dust with flour. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for one hour.
Prepare the salmon:
- While the dough cools, add the 1 Tbsp unsalted butter and shallots to a skillet on medium heat. Sauté until the shallots until translucent.
- Sprinkle both sides of the salmon with the salt and pepper. Add the salmon to the skillet and cook for 4 minutes per side. Turn the heat down to low if the shallots get too dark while cooking the salmon.
- Add the white wine then cover then cook for another 1-2 minutes. Check if the salmon flesh will just flake apart with a fork. When it separates it is ready. The cook time can vary depending on the thickness of the salmon.
- Remove the salmon from the pan and allow to cool slightly. Flake in to medium sized pieces of 1-2 inches. Discard the skin.
- Simmer the shallots on low until all the remaining liquid cooks off. Save the shallots for the filling.
Prepare the quiche filling and assemble:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream and sour cream. Add the tarragon and caraway then whisk to combine.
- Roll out the crust on a floured surface and roll into a 10" circle. Fit into tart or quiche pan. Poke holes with a fork in multiple places.
- Blind bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from oven. Place salmon chunks on the bottom of the pan, add shallots and cheese. Cover with egg mixture.
- Bake for about 30 minutes uncovered.
- Test with cake tester for doneness.
