Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3–4 tablespoons cold water
- 150g cooked salmon, flaked
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup (180ml) heavy cream
- ¼ cup (60ml) milk
- ½ cup (50g) shredded Gruyère or mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Rub in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cold water gradually until dough forms. Shape into a disk and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut small circles to fit a greased muffin tin. Press gently into each cavity and prick the bases with a fork.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and milk. Stir in shredded cheese, dill, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
- Fold in the flaked cooked salmon gently.
- Spoon the filling into each mini crust, filling about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and set in the center.
- Allow to cool slightly before carefully removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Use leftover baked or poached salmon for best texture. Do not overfill the crusts to prevent spilling during baking. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for 8–10 minutes for best results.
