Ingredients
Salmon and Scallion Quiche
- Ingredients
- 250 grams Pastry flour
- 125 grams cold butter
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 egg
- For covering
- 3 bunches scallions
- 2 Tbsps butter
- salt
- freshly ground peppers
- 1 generous pinch cayenne pepper
- 250 grams Smoked salmon (in slices)
- 150 grams Sour cream
- 100 grams Whipped cream
- 2 eggs
Ridge the flour on the work surface, mix with salt and make a well in the center of the flour. Cut the cold butter into small pieces and distribute all around the ridge, put the egg in the center.
Mix all the ingredients by chopping with a knife, as small dough crumbs arise quickly knead into a dough with your hands, form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill 30 minutes.
In the meantime, trim the scallions, rinse and cut the green into thin rings, then sauté in hot butter about 2-3 minutes while stirring, season with salt and pepper, remove from heat and let cool.
Cut the smoked salmon into strips and mix with the scallions.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Mix sour cream with cream and the eggs, season with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface slightly larger than the shape, line the buttered pan with dough, form an edge and distribute the salmon and spring onion mixture on top. Pour the egg-cream mixture over it and bake in preheated oven about 30 minutes. Cut into pieces to serve.

Healthy, because
The health miracle spring onion does not allow illnesses: the essential oils it contains strengthen the intestinal flora, which is crucial for good resistance. They also combat bacteria in the digestive tract. The secondary plant substance allicin has an anti-inflammatory effect and can render germs in the mouth harmless.
Even smarter
The savoury cake can also be prepared as a vegetarian dish: For this, replace the salmon with cherry tomatoes and strips of courgette or other vegetables of your choice. You can refine the cake with a little gorgonzola.
