About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 7 1/10 oz wholemeal spelt flour
- 3 1/2 oz Greek yoghurt
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 7 1/10 oz cottage cheese
- 3 eggs
- 0.42 cup milk
- 5 3/10 oz smoked salmon
- 3 1/2 oz fresh spinach
- 3 1/2 oz asparagus
- 3 1/2 oz peas
- black pepper
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 356°F (350°F) and set a rack in the middle position.
- 2In a mixing bowl, combine the wholemeal spelt flour, Greek yoghurt, and a pinch of salt; stir until a smooth, cohesive dough forms.
- 3Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead briefly (about 30 seconds) to ensure even texture, then shape into a disc.
- 4Roll the dough out to about 3 mm thickness and gently press it into a 23‑cm (9‑inch) quiche tin, trimming any excess.
- 5Cover the crust with parchment paper and fill with baking beans or rice; chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes while the oven finishes heating.
- 6While the crust chills, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, and milk in a large bowl until smooth; season with a pinch of black pepper.
- 7Fold the smoked salmon, chopped spinach, asparagus pieces, and peas into the egg mixture, distributing evenly.
- 8Remove the parchment and beans from the chilled crust, then pour the filling over the base, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- 9Bake the quiche for 25–30 minutes, or until the centre is set and the edges are lightly golden.
- 10Allow the quiche to rest for 5 minutes on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
