Easy Salmon, dill and BROCCOLI QUICHE RECIPE

8/13/2019

Quiche is a meal I have always loved to eat but never had the courage to make. As I am on a mission to learn how to cook, so I can teach my little lady I had to have a go! I made a salmon, broccoli and dill quiche. It actually turned out pretty well (much to my surprise!) check out the recipe below:

Ingredients

A ready-made pastry case (or make your own)
Two pre cut small salmon fillets
A quarter of a medium sized broccoli
1 tablespoon of chopped dill
5 eggs, beaten
100ml milk
250ml double cream
A pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning

Method

Cook the salmon on 180 degrees for 20/25 minutes approx. (all ovens vary)
Cut (into small pieces) and boil the broccoli for about 8/10 minutes
Leave the salmon and broccoli to cool
In the meantime whisk the dill, eggs, milk and cream. Season well.
Flake the cooked salmon, and arrange with the broccoli in the bottom of the pastry case.
Pour over the dill, egg, milk and cream mix evenly.
Bake for 30-40 minutes
Serve warm, or at room temperature.

This recipe will serve 8 people approx. Happy making KX

I am desperately trying to teach myself to bake, so that my little lady can learn too! The other day we decided to bake Raisin Cookies together! It was my first time making them. I don’t want to blow my own trumpet but I was so proud with the outcome! Team work is the key! I have popped the recipe here for you to have a go, if you would like to!

INGREDIENTS

260 grams plain flour
2 tea spoons of baking powder
¼ tea spoon of salt
170g unsalted butter at room temp
200g of light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tea spoon of vanilla extract
2-4 tablespoons of milk
125g seedless raisins

method

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (some ovens may vary)
Step 2: Butter two large baking trays
Step 3: Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl
Step 4: In a different bowl mix the butter until it is light and creamy, using an electric whisk.
Step 5: Add the sugar and mix until the consistency is light and fluffy
Step 6: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, then add the separate bowl of flour and mix well.
Step 7: Add the right amount of milk to make the mixture soft.

Step 3.
Spread the potato mix and the softened onions into a oven proof dish, and bake for about 20 minutes.

Raspberry and Banana Cake Recipe

7/31/2019

0 Comments

There is no secret, I absolutely love banana cake! I thought I would have a go at jazzing up the traditional banana cake recipe, by adding some fresh Raspberries into the mix! It works a treat, the sharp flavour of the Raspberries are a fab balance on the taste buds. I have popped the ingredients and method below so you can have a go!

Ingredients:

150g butter
200g sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 large ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
240g self-raising flour
120ml milk
75g/100g of fresh raspberries
A pinch of salt

Method:

Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 180c. Grease your loaf tin with butter, using tin foil.

Step 2:
Using an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar until it becomes a nice light colour. Add the eggs. I pop them into a cup first and add them in batches, beating well after each addition.

Step 3:
Stir in the mashed banana. Sift the flour over the banana mix. Add the milk and a pinch of salt. Fold with a spoon until the mix is combined. Carefully then fold in the fresh raspberries.

Step 4:
Spoon the mixture into your greased loaf tin. Bake for about an hour (all ovens vary), or until a skewer inserted into the centre of your loaf comes out clean. Cool for 10/15 minutes. Then remove onto a wire rack and let the loaf cool completely before eating.

Happy making KX
