Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4). Finely chop the courgette, carrot, and leek. In a pan, sauté these vegetables in 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a food processor, add the sautéed vegetables, diced salmon, crumbled feta cheese, soft cheese, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Blend on high speed (power 5) for approximately 1 minute until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Line the base of a quiche dish with baking paper and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.
Pour the blended quiche mixture into the prepared quiche dish. Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
Place the quiche dish into the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown and set in the centre. The quiche may puff up during baking but will settle as it cools.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley if desired. Slice and enjoy!
For an extra crispy base, blind bake the pastry (if using) for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling.
To check if the quiche is cooked through, insert a knife into the centre; it should come out clean.
This quiche is delicious served warm or cold, making it perfect for meal prep or picnics.
