🇫🇷 Smoked Salmon & Watercress Quiche
Join Chez François and learn how to bake a truly irresistible French Quiche!
Imagine a buttery, flaky crust baked to golden perfection… filled with delicious smoked salmon, a delicate creamy filling, and vibrant greens that add freshness and color to every bite. The richness of the salmon melts beautifully into the smooth egg filling, while the watercress (or your chosen green) adds a light peppery brightness that balances it perfectly.
This elegant quiche can be served warm and comforting straight from the oven, or chilled for a refined brunch or light dinner. Pair it with a crisp lettuce salad and a glass of white wine, and you have the perfect French moment at home.
During this live class, we will cook the quiche together step by step — from preparing the crust and filling to achieving that perfectly set, creamy center.
Choose your green ingredient:
- Watercress (my favorite — fresh and slightly peppery!)
- Broccoli (mild and hearty)
- Sliced leek (sweet and delicately aromatic)
You can serve it hot or cold! This is a perfect savory quiche to accompany a fresh lettuce salad. Let's cook this delicious quiche together:
