Hello Lykkers, today we are making a beautiful homemade dish that combines fresh seafood, colorful vegetables, and a creamy baked filling. We are preparing a Salmon and Broccoli Quiche, a classic savory pie with a golden crust and a smooth center.

This quiche is perfect when we want a meal that looks special but is still simple to prepare. The crisp pastry holds a delicious mixture of salmon, broccoli, eggs, milk, and mozzarella cheese. Every slice offers a wonderful balance of textures, from the delicate crust to the soft filling inside.

Let’s discover how we can make this flavorful quiche step by step and bring a warm homemade feeling to our table.

What Is Salmon and Broccoli Quiche?

Salmon and Broccoli Quiche is a baked savory pie made with a buttery crust and a creamy egg-based filling. The combination of salmon and broccoli creates a fresh and balanced taste, while the cheese adds a smooth finish.

This dish is suitable for breakfast, lunch, or a relaxed family meal. It can be served warm after baking or enjoyed later after cooling. The recipe creates about 8 slices, making it a great choice for sharing.

Ingredients We Need

For the crust, we prepare:

- 200 grams all-purpose flour

- 100 grams cold butter, cut into small cubes

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 50 milliliters cold water

For the filling, we prepare:

- 200 grams salmon fillet, cut into small pieces

- 300 grams broccoli, separated into small pieces

- 3 large eggs

- 200 milliliters milk

- 100 grams mozzarella cheese, grated

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

These simple ingredients come together to create a colorful and satisfying homemade quiche.

Step 1: Make the Crust Dough

First, we prepare the pastry base.

1. Place 200 grams of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt into a large bowl. Add the cold butter cubes and gently mix with our fingertips until the mixture becomes crumbly.

2. Next, slowly add 50 milliliters of cold water. Mix until the dough starts to come together. Shape it into a ball, cover it, and place it in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes.

3. After chilling, roll the dough into a thin circle about 0.5 centimeters thick. Place it into a 24 to 26-centimeter quiche pan, pressing it gently against the bottom and sides. Use a fork to make small holes across the surface.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling Ingredients

While the dough rests, we prepare the filling.

1. First, cut the broccoli into small pieces. Steam the broccoli for about 2 to 3 minutes. This keeps the vegetable fresh while making it tender enough for baking.

2. Next, cut the salmon into small cubes. Prepare the cheese by grating 100 grams of mozzarella.

3. In a separate bowl, mix 3 eggs with 200 milliliters of milk. Add salt and black pepper, then whisk until everything is fully combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Quiche

Now we create the layers of our quiche.

1. Spread the broccoli pieces evenly over the crust. Add the salmon pieces on top of the broccoli.

2. Slowly pour the egg and milk mixture over the filling, making sure it reaches all areas. Finally, sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese across the surface.

3. The combination of green broccoli, pink salmon, and golden cheese creates an attractive appearance before baking.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Place the prepared quiche inside and bake for 40 to 45 minutes.

2. During baking, the crust becomes crisp, while the egg mixture turns into a soft and creamy filling. The cheese melts and forms a beautiful golden layer on top.

3. When the quiche is finished, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This helps the filling become stable and makes slicing easier.

Serving and Enjoying the Quiche

We can enjoy this Salmon and Broccoli Quiche while it is warm, when the flavors are rich and the cheese is soft. It also tastes wonderful after cooling, making it convenient for sharing or preparing ahead.

For a simple meal, we can serve each slice with a fresh salad or seasonal vegetables. The gentle flavors make this quiche easy to enjoy at different occasions.

We can also adjust the recipe by adding other vegetables we like or changing the cheese amount to create our own special version.
