Step 1: Making the Sable Dough Quiche Shell
The foundation of this quiche is a sable dough infused with smoked paprika, dry tomatoes, and sesame seeds, giving it a distinct flavor and texture.
Combine the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix flour, smoked paprika, dry tomatoes, sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt.
Incorporate the butter: Add cold butter cubes to the dry mix and rub them in with your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the egg yolk: Gently work the egg yolk into the dough until it comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Chill the dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Blind bake the quiche shell: Roll out the dough and press it into a tart pan. Poke holes with a fork, place parchment paper on top, and weigh down with pie weights. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
Step 2: Making the Baked Cream Cheese with Herbs
This quiche features a luscious baked cream cheese layer infused with fresh herbs for a fragrant, creamy bite.
Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, egg, fresh dill, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth and well-combined.
Bake the filling: Pour the cream cheese mixture into the pre-baked quiche shell and bake at 160°C (320°F) for 20 minutes or until the filling is set. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 3: Adding the Fatty Salmon
To balance the creaminess of the quiche, we add pieces of fatty salmon for a rich, savory flavor.
Layer the salmon: Scatter small cubes of fatty salmon evenly over the baked cream cheese layer. The salmon will add a burst of flavor with every bite.
Step 4: Piping Fresh Cream Cheese with Herbs
Now it’s time to add a fresh and cool cream cheese element to contrast the richness of the baked filling.
Prepare the fresh cream cheese mixture: In a bowl, mix fresh cream cheese with chopped chives and dill. Transfer to a piping bag.
Pipe over the quiche: Pipe the fresh cream cheese in decorative patterns or small dollops over the tart to add another layer of creaminess and visual appeal.
Step 5: Decorating with Salmon and Caviar
This step brings the quiche to life with luxurious garnishes.
Arrange the salmon slices: Neatly place slightly salted salmon slices on top of the quiche.
Add the caviar: Generously spoon salmon caviar onto the quiche for a touch of indulgence.
Step 6: Final Touches with Cucumber and Microgreens
To finish the dish with a refreshing crunch, we add cucumber and microgreens.
Garnish the top: Lay thin slices of cucumber on top of the salmon and caviar.
Sprinkle with microgreens: For the final flourish, scatter fresh microgreens across the quiche. They add a fresh, peppery note to the dish.
