Quick to Prepare, Salmon and Cherry Tomato Lavash Bake
Minimal Prep Time
This Salmon and Cherry Tomato Lavash Bake is as simple as it gets, yet delivers impressive results. The preparation time is minimal—just 10 minutes—and it requires only basic steps to assemble. Start by preheating your oven to 190°C (fan). While the oven is heating, prepare the lavash bread by scrunching it up accordion-style. This creates folds where the filling can nestle in. Trim the edges if needed to fit your baking dish.
Simple Assembly Process
Once your baking dish is lightly oiled, arrange the scrunched lavash breads inside. Don’t worry about perfect alignment; the casual arrangement adds to the rustic charm of the dish. After that, spray or brush the lavash with olive oil.
Layering the Flavours
Next, it’s time to add the filling. Nestle the halved cherry tomatoes and diced salmon between the folds of the lavash, spreading them evenly so each bite has a bit of everything. This layering technique ensures you get a satisfying mix of flavours with every forkful.
Creating the Creamy Custard
For the custard, whisk together eggs, cream cheese, milk, salt, pepper, and freshly chopped chives. The cream cheese adds richness, while the chives bring a fresh, herbal note to balance out the savoury elements. Once everything is well combined, pour the mixture evenly over the lavash and fillings. The custard soaks into the bread, creating a moist and flavorful base.
Bake and Enjoy
After assembling, bake the dish for 30 minutes. Keep an eye on it after 20 minutes; if the lavash starts to brown too quickly, simply cover it loosely with parchment paper or foil. Once the filling has set and the top is golden, it’s ready to come out of the oven. This quick recipe requires minimal effort but results in a hearty, comforting meal that’s sure to satisfy!
Customisable to Your Tastes
This recipe is easily adaptable for different flavours. Substitute the salmon with cooked chicken or tuna for a twist. Try adding fresh herbs like dill or parsley, or sprinkle with grated cheese for a bit of extra indulgence.
