How To Make Baccalà And Spring Onion Quiche
Here’s a fantastic recipe for how to make Baccalà (Salted Codfish) and Spring Onion Quiche by Italian Chef Chicca Maione. She can even teach you the art of making this in person through her cooking classes (If you are looking for a great vacation)!
“Have you ever thought about having a dried salted codfish quiche? Well, I love salted codfish quiche so much that I made this recipe. It is easy and fast once you buy the fish, then rinse and soak it. In fact, to take all the salt out, you need at least 24 – 36 hours, depending on the saltiness of the fish. I always buy the fish ready to cook and this helps to save a lot of time!”
