The perfect fresh salmon quiche with a dill crust (traditional method & Thermomix)
Description
I think I've already mentioned that my youngest loves fish - especially when it's accompanied by broccoli. So I'm always on the lookout for simple, tasty ideas for combining these two ingredients in family recipes. This quiche was born out of that desire: a shortcrust pastry delicately flavoured with dill, fresh salmon fillets, little broccoli florets and a melting mixture. All baked in the oven for a complete meal, as delicious warm as cold. It's sure to become a spring classic, served as a light lunch, picnic or dinner with a salad.
