Directions

5 steps
  1. Step 1

    Prepare the Pie Shell: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie shell on a baking sheet and prick the bottom and sides with a fork. Bake on the middle rack for 12 minutes, until golden. Let cool.

  2. Step 2

    Cook the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and broccoli, cooking for 8 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat.

  3. Step 3

    Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, dill, and black pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Assemble the Quiche: Layer the broccoli-shallot mixture into the cooled pie crust. Top with smoked salmon and goat cheese. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the filling.

  5. Step 5

    Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set. Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
