Method

  1. To make the Salmon, Broccoli, and Spinach Savory Pie, start by carefully washing and trimming the spinach, broccoli, and scallions.
  2. Take the broccoli, separate the florets from the stems, and cook the florets in plenty of salted water for about 10 minutes.
  3. Take the spinach, chop it coarsely with a knife, and cook it over medium heat for 5 minutes in a nonstick skillet with a drizzle of oil.
  4. Thinly slice the scallions and let them soften in a nonstick skillet with a few tablespoons of oil and a splash of water until they turn translucent.
  5. When the broccoli is perfectly cooked, drain it and rinse it under cold running water to stop the cooking. Add it to the skillet with the scallions, stir, and turn off the heat.
  6. Take a quiche pan, unroll the pâte brisée, and carefully line the pan with it, pricking the surface with a fork.
  7. Cover the pâte brisée with a sheet of parchment paper, place ceramic pie weights on top, and bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C (350 °F) for about 20 minutes.
  8. After that time, take the quiche crust out of the oven, remove the ceramic pie weights and the parchment paper, and bake for another 10 minutes. Then take it out of the oven and let it cool completely.
  9. While the crust bakes, make the filling. Cut the salmon into small pieces, add it to the skillet with the broccoli, and mix well.
  10. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and add the sour cream, the grated Emmental, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of pepper. Mix until fully combined, then add the spinach as well.
  11. Take the pie crust, which has cooled by now, and spread the broccoli, salmon, and scallion mixture evenly over it.
  12. Cover evenly with the cream and egg mixture, then bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C (350 °F) for another 20 minutes.
  13. After that time, take it out of the oven, let it rest for about 5 minutes, and then serve the Salmon, Broccoli, and Spinach Savory Pie while still warm. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
