It is about time for a smoked fish and spinach quiche then!
Whenever I am baking a quiche I always tell myself I should be making more of them.
Quiches are so very easy to make and they make such a great lunch, dinner or entree idea!
Especially because you can easily make them in advance!
Make Ahead Lunch Idea
I based this smoked fish and spinach quiche on a recipe for a smoked salmon and watercress quiche.
And because I didn’t have all the necessary ingredients that day, I replaced it by stuff I did have: smoked haddock and fresh spinach.
I love to serve a quiche cold, especially now that we live in a hot country like Spain.
Now that summer is around the corner, our evenings are quite hot still and I lately started to prepare more cold dinners. Like caesar salads, vitello tonnato, cold tomato soups.
And quiches.
Easy Smoked Haddock Spinach & Quiche
I used my KitchenAid Stand Mixer Mini to prepare the dough and the filling.
Superb results!
The dough is well combined, smooth and elastic. And the quiche filling is airy because the egg is whipped at a constant pace which incorporates enough air into the cream and spinach filling.
This is perfection then!

Lunch or Starter
I used a tart tin of about 8-inch (20 cm) diameter for this smoked haddock and spinach quiche.
And that makes a great lunch for 2 or a delicious starter for 4. You can serve the quiche warm or cold. Just slice it up and serve with a fresh and crisp green salad!
