Ingredients
- 1 inch frozen pie crust thawed, 23 cm
- 2 medium leeks
- 1 Tbsp butter or oil 15 g
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 oz soft goat cheese 56 g
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup half-and-half can sub milk, 120 mL
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Prick the thawed pie crust all over with a fork, then bake it (empty) for 15 minutes until it begins to brown. When finished, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (176°C).
- Clean Leeks: Meanwhile, cut the root and dark green part off each leek, then cut each in half lengthwise. Slice into ¼-inch thick half-moons. Transfer to a large bowl, and cover with water. Swish around to clean out the dirt, then drain.
- Saute Leeks: Heat butter or oil in a large saute pan over medium/high heat. Add leeks and salt, then cook until tender and bright green, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Assemble: Spoon leeks into the pie shell (use as many of them as you can, but ensure the pie is only about ¾ filled to the top). Break up the goat cheese and dollop all over the leeks. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and half-and-half until well blended, then pour it over the leeks to fill the pie.
- Bake: Bake for about 45 minutes until the outside is completely set and the middle still jiggles a touch. If needed, cover with aluminum foil to prevent the crust from over-browning.
Notes
- Leftovers: Keep the quiche in the tin cooking tray, then wrap it in foil or plastic wrap. Store for 3 to 4 days in the fridge, and reheat in the oven rather than the microwave for the best texture.
