Instructions

For the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a mini muffin tin.
In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the cubed butter and blend gently until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice-cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into circles to fit your mini muffin tin cups.
Press the dough circles into the cups, forming mini crusts. Prick the bottoms with a fork to prevent puffing. Place in the fridge while you work on the filling.
For the Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Place a small amount of chopped salmon and grated cheese into each mini crust.
Pour the egg mixture over the salmon and cheese, filling each crust almost to the top.
Place the muffin tin into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the quiches are set and slightly golden on top.
Once done, allow to cool for a few minutes, then carefully remove the mini quiches from the muffin tin.
Garnish with chopped dill before serving. Enjoy!
