Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and chilled, diced butter.
- Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add ice-cold water gradually, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Gently press the dough into the pan and trim any excess.
- Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- Line the tart crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment paper, and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the crust is lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
- Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper.
- Place the salmon on a baking sheet and bake in the oven (still at 375°F/190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove and let cool slightly, then flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, light sour cream, and milk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in the finely chopped chives and dill.
- Spread the flaked salmon evenly over the pre-baked tart crust.
- Pour the herb and egg mixture over the salmon.
- Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake the assembled tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is very cold before cutting it into the flour for a flakier crust.
- Pre-bake the tart crust for a few minutes to avoid a soggy bottom.
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor.
- Let the tart cool slightly before slicing to help it set and make it easier to serve.
- Feel free to substitute the cheddar with another cheese of your choice for different flavor profiles.
This Salmon & Herb Tart is a versatile and delicious dish that is sure to impress your guests. With a perfect balance of flavors and a flaky crust, it’s a delightful addition to any meal. Whether you're serving it for brunch, lunch, or dinner, this tart is sure to become a favorite.
