CREAMY SALMON QUICHE

1tbsp snipped chives, fresh or dried
 300g Asda Shortcrust Pastry Mix
 200g tenderstem broccoli
 3 medium eggs, beaten
 200g crème fraîche
 100g pack Asda Smoked Salmon, cut into ribbons
HOW TO MAKE:

1
Stir the chives into the pastry mix, then add about 3tbsp cold water to bring together. Roll out pastry and use to line a 35cm x 12cm rectangular tart tin (or a 20cm round tart tin), leaving the excess pastry hanging over the edge. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.
2
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Line the pastry case with greaseproof paper and baking beans and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the paper and beans, and bake pastry for a further 5 minutes. Cut away the excess pastry.
3
Meanwhile, blanch the broccoli in a pan of lightly salted boiling water for 1-2 minutes, uncovered. Refresh in cold water and drain well in a colander. Pat dry on kitchen paper. Whisk the eggs and crème fraîche together with seasoning, then stir in the smoked salmon.
4
When the pastry case is ready, pour half of the filling in, then arrange the broccoli on top. Add the remaining filling and bake for 15-20 minutes, until lightly golden and just set in the centre.
