Ingredients

• 1 piece pre-made pie crust
• 200 grams fresh salmon fillet
• 150 grams button mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 large eggs
• 240 milliliters heavy cream
• 60 milliliters milk
• 100 grams shredded Gruyère cheese
• 1 piece garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch (23 cm) tart or pie tin, pressing it gently into the edges. Trim any excess crust from the edges and prick the bottom with a fork. Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes or until they are browned and their moisture has evaporated. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, cook the salmon fillet for 3–4 minutes on each side until just cooked through. Use a fork to flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and chopped dill. Stir in the shredded Gruyère cheese.

Step 6

Spread the cooked mushrooms and flaked salmon evenly across the bottom of the pre-baked crust. Pour the egg mixture over the top, ensuring it covers all the ingredients.

Step 7

Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra dill if desired.
