Recipe Tips

Ensure your cod fillets are fully soaked and drained before using them in the quiche; this helps to remove excess salt and prevents the dish from becoming overly salty.
Sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil until fragrant before adding them to the mixture. This enhances their flavors and adds depth to your quiche.
Avoid overcooking the quiche by checking it at the minimum baking time; the center should be set but slightly jiggly. This ensures a creamy texture and prevents it from becoming dry.
