Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add sliced leeks and minced garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Toss in chopped asparagus, stirring briefly for 2 minutes until tender-crisp. Transfer mixture to a bowl to cool slightly while preparing filling.
- In a mixing bowl, crack 4 large eggs and whisk until lightly frothy and pale yellow, about 1 minute. Gradually add 1 cup of full-fat cream, followed by salt, pepper, and freshly chopped dill. Stir well until all ingredients are combined.
- Prepare your quiche crust according to the package instructions. Layer the sautéed leeks and asparagus mixture in the crust, followed by 200 grams of smoked salmon, tearing it into bite-sized pieces. Pour the smooth egg and cream mixture over the top, ensuring even coverage.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once assembled, place the quiche on the middle rack and bake for about 30-40 minutes until the custard is set and a knife inserted comes out clean. Look for a golden-brown crust forming around the edges.
- After baking, remove the quiche from the oven and let cool for about 10-15 minutes on a wire rack. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes
Using high-quality smoked salmon elevates the flavor of your quiche. Ensure eggs are whisked until pale yellow for a light and airy filling.
