To blind bake the pastry, press the dough into a quiche, tart or pie tin and use a fork to gently prick across the base.
Take a piece of parchment paper, spread it on top of the dough and then fili the base with rice or lentils or raw beans.
Then follow the recipe below for cooking with the filling.
Quiche filling
Preheat the oven to 400° F (200°C) and butter the quiche mold.
In a sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the spinach, cover and sauté for about 5 minutes, stir ring from time to time, untiI soft.
Transfer to a colander and squeeze out the excess water between your fingers.
Set the pan aside to use later.
Finely chop the spinach and set aside.
In a pot, heat 3/4 of the milk with the thyme leaves and a pinch cup of sea salt and pepper.
When just beginning to simmer, add the salmon and poach it for 3 minutes.
Remove from the heat, cover and let infuse for 10 minutes.
Remove the salmon and crumble it into a bowl, making sure to discard the bones; set aside.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the cream and the remaining cup of milk.
Season with sea salt and pepper and add the nutmeg and the chilly peppers, set aside.
In the same sauté pan you used for the spinach, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and shal lot and cook for about 5 minutes without browning, stirring until soft.
Remove from the heat and stir in the spinach; set aside.
Prebake for 15 minutes.
Remove the parchment paper and weights and brush the crust with the egg white.
Return to the oven and bake for 5 more minutes. Add the vegetables and the crumbled salmon to the crust and pour the egg batter over the top.
Bake the quiche for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the egg flan is set.
