Ingredients
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180C. Thaw spinach in the microwave and squeeze out excess liquid. Set aside.
2. If using fresh salmon, bake in the oven for 12 minutes, or until just cooked through. Flake the salmon into small pieces.
3. In a bowl, add eggs, cream, parmesan, salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg and whisk together.
4. Press pastry into a quiche dish, trimming the edges. Cover with baking paper and baking beads or rice and blind bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and discard baking paper and weights. Spread spinach and salmon over pastry, then top with herbs. Pour the mixture over the salmon and sprinkle it with gruyère cheese. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes until the quiche is golden brown.
