How to make delicious quiche dough? Recipes from Julia Vysotskaya: Quiche with salmon and spinach, eggs Benedict with bacon and Carrot muffins with walnuts Quiche pie with rice and fish

Quiche Lauren is an open pie made from a special dough on which the filling is laid out. But in addition to the special dough, this recipe has an excellent combination of red fish and spicy herbs Lovage. The smell of this herb is very bright, spicy, the leaves contain a lot of essential oils and have an intense mixed sweet-bitter taste with a slight pungency. So this herb itself is enough: it will play the role of both filling and spice at the same time.

I have already presented on the site a recipe for fish soup, which used lovage, and today we will prepare fish pie. Lovage and fish are simply made for each other.

I will also give you the recipe for my special dough. It's perfect for quiche. The pie will not be wet, and the juicy filling will be enveloped in a crispy crust made of tender and tasty dough. And don’t be afraid that the pie is dark in color - this is due to the use of whole grain flour in the recipe. You can also replace it with rye.

• So, the dough:
• Wheat flour ─ 150 g.
• Whole grain wheat or rye flour ─ 100 g.
• Baking soda ─ ½ tsp.
• Sugar ─ 1 tsp.
• Butter (grated on a coarse grater) ─ 50 g.
• Bryndza or soft cream cheese (cream cheese or ricotta) ─ 150 g.
• Milk ─ 3-4 tbsp.

Salt, ground black pepper 1 pinch each

Sift both types of flour through a sieve, add salt, sugar and soda. Add the grated butter and rub the dough into crumbs with your fingertips. Add cream cheese or cheese, grated on a coarse grater. It is advisable to first hold the cheese in cold water so that it softens slightly and removes excess salt. Pour in the milk. First 2 spoons and sweep out, and then 1-2 more. So that it forms a nice buttery elastic ball, but not sticky. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

• Filling:
• Red fish fillet or steak ─ 300 g.
• Bunch of lovage
• Sweet onion jusai ─ 2 stems with arrows and white part
• Cheddar cheese ─ 150 g.
• Chicken eggs ─ 2 pcs.
• Milk ─ 200 ml.
• Nutmeg ─ 1-2 pinches
• Coarse sea salt ─ 1-2 pinches

Ground black pepper ─ 1 pinch

Yes, fish is the key to the juiciness and taste of the pie. I took a fresh, unfrozen trout steak, removed the skin, and cut it into 3-4 cm pieces.

And no lemon juice! Fresh fish does not need to be treated with lemon juice at all. It’s better served with a creamy lemon sauce, using the zest if you’re preparing a fish steak.

Well, now everything is extremely simple, and most importantly fast!

Roll out the dough in a circle larger than the diameter of your pan. Mine is 24 cm. And lay out the dough so that sides are formed. Poke holes in the bottom of the future pie with a fork so that the dough does not swell during baking. And lay out the layers: first cheese, then fish, lightly sprinkled with coarse sea salt, then chopped lovage and jusai onions, then cheese again. Pour a mixture of milk eggs with a pinch of ground black pepper and nutmeg on top.

Send to bake in a preheated oven at a temperature of 180-190 degrees in the “top-bottom” mode. Bake for 35-40 minutes.

This quiche Laurent pie with fish can be served either warm or cold.

Today on our table is a French quiche, or open pie. Although we prepare it according to French patterns, but with a Russian accent: red fish and dill in the filling - everything we love. The secret of any quiche is the correct dough. According to the rules, it must certainly be homemade and sandy. To make the dough crispy, you must definitely add a little strong alcohol to it - vodka or cognac, the aroma is not important here. And also pay attention to the fact that before baking you need to put the cake in the freezer so that the dough sets, and then in a well-heated oven, then the cake will become crumbly and will not become soggy under the filling. Shortbread dough is very convenient to prepare with a reserve: just form a ball out of it, wrap it in film, and it will easily last in the refrigerator for several days, and in the freezer for several weeks. And then you can bake completely different quiches from it - both classic ones, with fried bacon, and vegetable ones, for example, with sweet peppers and tomatoes. But with red fish, creamy filling, spinach and the fresh smell of dill - the combination for an open pie is absolutely win-win and one of the most beautiful.

During the winter holidays, we honestly admit that we led an incorrect lifestyle and sat down to the table mostly closer to the night - it’s time to correct ourselves. There aren't many recipes in the world that were created specifically for breakfast, and eggs benedict is one of the most luxurious morning dishes. It is not for nothing that eggs prepared in this way are served in expensive European hotels. And we will arrange an aristocrat's breakfast on our own. The recipe is the most classic - poached egg, hollandaise sauce and fried bacon. We have already tried to boil eggs without shells more than once, and it is not at all as difficult as it seems. It is important to add a little vinegar to the water; it will not be felt at all; we only need it so that the protein immediately sets in boiling water and does not spread. Another trick is to carefully crack the egg into the cup first, and then let it drip into the pan, holding the edge of the cup just above the surface of the water. The water should barely boil - we don’t need vigorous seething here at all. Just practice once and everything will work out. But hollandaise sauce, or hollandaise, is, oddly enough, a typically French thing. Its whole secret is in good butter, which gives the base to the sauce. The butter needs to be melted, but under no circumstances should it be allowed to darken; let it remain pale, like a society beauty. The French add shallots and white wine to hollandaise sauce, but we will have a simpler option; the creamy oiliness and sourness of lemon is quite enough for us. If you don’t find suitable bacon at home, you can use lard with meat streaks, even a little smoked. And any bun is suitable for this super breakfast - grain, black, or with cereals. The French, for example, use a sweet brioche bun, and my husband’s mother, Natalya Petrovna Konchalovskaya, put eggs Benedict on Borodino bread, it turns out very unusual and tasty.

And for dessert today, muffins. I really love carrot cakes with cream cheese frosting, and this is a portioned version of them. Plus, we don't have to fuss with sponge cakes. What's good about muffins? Because they are much easier to prepare than classic muffins and biscuits. You just need to mix the dry and wet ingredients separately and combine. If suddenly there are lumps in the dough, it’s not a problem, you need to knead it very quickly; if you beat it, the baked goods will lose their airiness. I add cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg to the dough, they really set off the carrot base, but you can also add cardamom and orange zest. Carrots add not only a vibrant color to the muffins, but also moisture, making them even more tender. Carrots can be replaced with grated zucchini, beets or pumpkin; believe me, the vegetable taste in sweet baked goods is absolutely not felt and does not bother anyone. And finally, the white cream cheese toppings turn our cupcakes into a real winter wonderland. The cream turns out dense, it will not spread, so it is convenient to pack the muffins in a box and take them to work or on a visit to prolong the feeling of the holiday.

Grease baking paper with the remaining butter, line a shallow baking dish, lay out the dough, quickly spread it over the bottom and sides of the pan and place in the freezer. Place the spinach in a colander and scald with boiling water. Lightly beat the eggs, pour in the cream and beat a little more. Remove the cooled crust from the freezer, prick it often with a fork and bake in a preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. Finely chop the dill. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Cut the salmon into small pieces, add to the eggs with cream, add half the chopped dill and mix everything. Place scalded spinach on the baked crust, pour in the egg and salmon filling and sprinkle with grated cheese. Reduce the oven temperature to 200°C and bake the quiche for 15-20 minutes. Sprinkle the finished quiche with the remaining dill.

I really liked the simple homemade pie with red fish on shortcrust pastry - salmon quiche. The idea to cook came from my daughter Yulia, for which I thank her very much. Just shortcrust pastry, which is easy even for beginners, and a luxurious filling made from the pulp of fresh salmon with the addition of spinach and egg-cheese filling. You can prepare red fish quiche using any available fish with red meat - fresh or lightly salted.

A dish of French cuisine, if you look into it - German, open snack bar, despite the apparent complexity, is prepared simply, since the dough does not require rising and standing. Just keep the proportions exactly and take your time - everything will turn out just right. The prototype of the pastry is quiche Laurent, a Lorraine pie made from chopped dough filled with smoked brisket, milk and eggs. A very nutritious and high-calorie snack - a kind of omelette-pizza with cracklings.

With all the variety of fillings, one of the most delicious options is salmon quiche or salmon quiche. Red fish goes well with slightly spicy or piquant cheese, which complements and emphasizes the taste of the fish. It’s amazing how harmonious the taste of red fish pie is, considering that almost all the ingredients do not have the most pronounced taste. This is a very delicate appetizer that is perfect for serving with.

Salmon pie on shortcrust pastry is not fried, but baked in an oven or oven. To reduce calorie content, vegetables or herbs - stewed spinach - are often added to the filling. Salmon quiche contains a dense filling, which is obtained by pouring eggs, milk and cheese. When baked, the filling hardens a little, holding the other ingredients of the filling together, and perfectly keeps the base from breaking.

Quiche with salmon is a universal dish for any meal during the day. Red fish pie does not require heating and is very suitable for a small buffet-type feast or for a lunch that you take with you to work.

If desired, you can prepare salmon quiche in the form of small baskets - like, but without cream. You will get excellent portioned open pies with salmon. They can be decorated with greenery or “flowers” ​​made from thin strips of smoked salmon - it will be very elegant and festive. If a red fish pie is being prepared for a feast, making small pies is much preferable.

2. Before you start preparing the red fish pie, you need to marinate a little onion. It is worth taking a small white sweet onion, which is usually used for salads.

5. Wash fresh salmon steak or salmon and dry with a napkin. Using a sharp knife, carefully separate the skin from the meat. This can be done in one motion by pressing the skin against the cutting board and pressing the knife against the skin to cut away the meat. This is how we cut river fish when we cook perch or pike perch. Separate the meat from the spine and ribs. If possible, select all the small seeds that are visible to the naked eye. Cut the meat into cubes about 2-2.5 cm in size.

   Clean and cut the salmon meat

6. You can use a lot of spinach for the filling. During heat treatment, greens lose volume and you should not be afraid that there will be too much of it. If there is a lot of spinach, the fish pie will be especially tasty. Wash the spinach and dry it from drippings. Remove rough leaf stalks and cut the leaves themselves into strips. Melt 30 grams of butter in a saucepan - this is approximately 1 tbsp. l. Fry spinach in oil. After the greens lose volume, reduce the heat to low and simmer the spinach in oil, covered, for 5 minutes. Let the greens cool slightly.

8. Prepare a round mold with a ribbed side. Such shapes are a remarkable feature of quiche, by which it is easily recognized. The diameter of the mold is 22-24 cm, it holds the specified amount of products. A very convenient form with a removable bottom - baked goods can be easily removed without the risk of damage. Remove the shortbread dough from the refrigerator and knead it along the bottom and sides of the mold, pressing with your fingers. All gaps and gaps can be easily filled with pieces of dough. Spread the dough onto the scalloped edge approximately 2.5-3 cm high.

9. Spread the cooled spinach stewed in oil over the shortbread dough. It spreads well with a regular spoon. There is no need to grease the dough on the walls. Spread onion marinated in sumac and lemon over the spinach. If there is liquid in the onion, it is better to squeeze it out. Arrange the salmon meat cubes.

   Place the filling - spinach, onion and salmon meat

10. All that remains is to fill the filling with the egg and cheese mixture and bake the quiche with salmon. Before pouring, shake the mixture with a fork. It is convenient to distribute the mixture with a spoon, pouring it to the very edge of the dough, and then pouring it into the spaces between the pieces of salmon. Most likely there will be more egg mixture than necessary; it was prepared with a small margin. It is necessary that the mixture is poured flush with the edge of the dough along the side, and islands of salmon are visible throughout the entire area.
