Quiche with sockeye salmon and cheese
6 servings
120 minutes
Salmon and cheese quiche is an exquisite representative of French cuisine, combining the tenderness of fish flavor and the creamy texture of baked filling. The classic quiche, first appearing in Lorraine, is traditionally made with a crispy pastry base that hides a rich layer of creamy filling, soft cheese, and aromatic ingredients. Here, salmon adds richness to the sea flavor while broccoli brings freshness and lightness. A light note of pesto gives the dish a piquant touch and a subtle herbal hint. This quiche is perfect for a cozy breakfast or a festive dinner and pairs wonderfully with green salads and white wines. Each spoonful is a harmony of French elegance and Russian love for rich flavors.
