Callaloo and Saltfish Brunch Quiche

This recipe reimagines the classic Caribbean breakfast staple by baking savory salted cod and earthy callaloo greens into a flaky, buttery crust. It is an elegant brunch option that retains all the authentic flavors of scotch bonnet, thyme, and garlic in a shareable pie format.

Ingredients

1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
0.5 lb salted codfish (saltfish)
2 cups fresh callaloo, chopped (or spinach if unavailable)
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
0.5 scotch bonnet pepper, seeded and minced (optional)
4 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tbsp vegetable oil
0.25 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Rinse the salted codfish to remove surface salt, then boil in water for 10-15 minutes. Drain, rinse again, and flake the fish into small pieces, discarding any bones or skin.

  3. 3

    In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and scotch bonnet pepper until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the chopped callaloo (or spinach) and thyme to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until the greens are wilted and any excess liquid has evaporated. Stir in the flaked saltfish and remove from heat.

  5. 5

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and black pepper until smooth.

  6. 6

    Spread the vegetable and fish mixture evenly across the bottom of the unbaked pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.

  7. 7

    Pour the egg and cream mixture carefully over the filling.

  8. 8

    Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the crust is golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
