Lobster Quiche

Ingredients

• 250 g flour
• 125 g cold butter
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 egg
• 250 g smoked salmon (sliced)
• 1 onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 4 eggs
• 100 g freshly grated Gruyère cheese
• 300 ml whipping cream
• Salt
• pepper (ground)
• 3 tbsp chives

Instructions

1. 1.

   Preheat the oven to 200°C.

2. 2.

   Sift flour onto a work surface, mix with salt and create a well in the center. Cut cold butter into small pieces and distribute around the well. Crack the egg into the center and use a knife to cut through all ingredients, creating small dough crumbs. Quickly knead with hands into a dough, shape into a ball, wrap in cling film and chill for about 30 minutes.

3. 3.

   Meanwhile, slice the salmon into strips. Peel and finely chop the onion; combine both in a bowl. Peel garlic and press it into the mixture. In another bowl whisk the eggs, add cheese and cream, then season with salt and pepper. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and line tart tins. Bake the crust on the middle rack of the preheated oven at 200°C for about 8 minutes.

4. 4.

   Spread the salmon mixture over the crust, pour the cheese‑egg‑cream mixture on top, sprinkle with chives and bake for about 25 minutes until set. Serve warm.
