Smoked Haddock Quiche
While the French lay claim to the classic quiche Lorraine, this delectable smoked haddock version simply sings of British summer. Creating the creamy fish filling and crumbly shortcrust pastry is simple, but the result tastes rich and indulgent. Smoky haddock is matched with a hint of fragrant dill and warming nutmeg for a beautiful full flavour, courgettes are added for texture, while a generous helping of cheese creates the characteristic smoothness of this traditional British recipe. Quiche is the perfect finger food for all kinds of events and occasions, and you can save yourself time by whipping it up the night before. This summer quiche recipe is perfect served up with a crisp green salad to balance out the bold flavours.
