If you have someone at home that does not like fish, you are doomed :P Well not really doomed, but eating fish becomes something very rare and special. So this is my first post with fish – just wanted to make that clear :P
Sometimes it is a bit sad I can’t make it more often. Well I could, but someone else would not be very happy (Hi J.! If you are reading this – it is about you! Yes! ;P).
Anyways. This quiche is delicious – the combination of the smoked salmon with asparagus and the wild garlic – awesome! When wild garlic is in season here in March until May, I could basically use it in almost any dish – really love it ;) If you can still get hold of some, buy it and freeze it, so you can use it couple more months. Of course you can also use dried wild garlic, but it’s just better with fresh/frozen wild garlic
I showed you how to make rough puff pastry aka. 15-minute-puff-pastry some time ago – this is what I used for this quiche, but you can also use regular puff pastry dough – homemade (you can find a recipe here) or store-bought – just make sure it is not too thick or you will end up with a soggy bottom ;)
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
10-15 small green thai asparagus
olive oil
2-3 red spring onions
couple leaves wild garlic
3.5 oz. (100g) smoked salmon
3 eggs
3/4 cup (180g) sour cream (or schmand)
1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
3.5 oz. (100g) mozzarella cheese, diced finely
1.7 oz. (50g) gruyère cheese, grated
salt, pepper
10-15 kleine grüne Thaispargel
Olivenöl
2-3 Rote Frühlingszwiebeln
ein paar Blätter Bärlauch
100g Räucherlachs
3 Eier
180g Schmand
60ml Sahne
100g Mozzarella, gewürfelt
50g Gruyère, geraspelt
Salz, Pfeffer
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Bring water with some salt to a boil in a small pot. Add the asparagus (cut off the dry bottoms first) and let cook for 3-4 minutes – remove from the pot, rinse with cold water and let cool down. Wash and dry the spring onions and cut into rings. Wash the wild garlic and cut into thin stripes. Heat up a small pan or pot, add some olive oil and add the onions and wild garlic and cook until glassy. Remove from the heat and let cool down.
3. Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190°C). For the filling mix eggs, sour cream, heavy cream, diced mozzarella and half of the gruyère cheese in a bowl until well combined. Season with salt and pepper – go easy on the salt, since the smoked salmon is already salty.
4. Place the salmon in one layer on the bottom of the springform, sprinkle the onion mixture on top and pour the filling into the form to cover everything. Place the thai asparagus on top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown on top – if it gets too dark, cover with some aluminum foil. Take out of the oven and let cool down for some time. Serve warm with some salad.
2. In einem kleinen Topf Wasser zum Kochen bringen. Den Spargel darin für 3-4 Minuten köcheln – die trockenen Enden vorher abschneiden. Den Spargel herausnehmen und mit kaltem Wasser abschrecken und zur Seite legen. Die Frühlingszwiebeln waschen, trochnen und in Ringe schneiden. Den Bärlauch waschen, trocknen und in Streifen schneiden. Eine kleine Pfanne erhitzen, Öl zugeben und die Zwiebeln und den Bärlauch darin glasig andünsten. Vom Herd nehmen und abkühlen lassen.
3. Den Ofen auf 190°C (375°F) vorheizen. Für die Füllung die Eier mit Schmand, Sahne, gewürfeltem Mozzarella und der Hälfte des Gruyère vermischen. Mit Salz und Pfeffer abschmecken – beim Salz etwas sparsamer, weil der Räucherlachs ja salzig ist.
4. Den Räucherlachs in einer Schicht auf den Teig in der Form legen, die Zwiebelmischung darauf verteilen und die Füllung darüberschütten. Den Spargel drauflegen und mit dem restlichen Käse bestreuen. Für 30-35 Minuten backen, bis der Käse schön gebräunt ist – sollte die Oberfläche zu dunkel werden beim Backen, mit etwas Alufolie abdecken. Die fertige Tarte herausnehmen, etwas abkühlen und dann mit etwas Salat servieren.
