Salmon Quiche Recipe Method

This is a two part Salmon Quiche Recipe - First the Pastry - if you want to make your own pastry follow all the steps below, or if you have a good bought pastry start at step Five.

Using a good food processor - pulse the flour, butter, margerine and salt together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add the water to the mixture and pulse until it starts to cling together (add a little more water if necessary).
Turn out dough onto a floured board and knead for about 20 seconds until you have a smooth, even ball.
Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes.
Now roll out the pastry on a floured board and line a 10" quiche dish, trimming the pastry to 1/2" above the edge of the dish to allow for shrinkage - crimp the edges with your fingers.
Place the greaseproof paper on top of the pastry - making sure it is all covered and fill with your baking beans or rice.
Place on the middle shelf of a preheated oven at 400ºf./200ºc. and bake for 20 Minutes.
Remove greaseproof paper and beans/rice and cook the quiche for a further 10 minutes.
Take it from the oven and leave it to cool.

Now Build Your Quiche

Arrange the broccoli florets evenly on the bottom of the quiche (see slideshow demonstration).
Then the capers, prawns, salmon and cheese.
Garnish with the red pepper strips.
Beat up the eggs mustard and seasoning in a bowl - then add the milk and beat again until even.
Now - pour on your eggy mix.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400f./200c. for 20-30 minutes until the quiche is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Serve hot, warm or cold!!
