Directions
50 min.
1. Step
To make the leek quiche recipe, preheat the oven to 200 degrees (fan oven 180 degrees) and line a round quiche tin with the shortcrust pastry. Prick the pastry a few times with a fork to prevent it from rising too much.
2. Step
Wash the leek and cut into rings. Chop the garlic cloves if you want to add them - they give the quiche a strong aroma. Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the leek (and optional garlic) until soft.
3. Step
Whisk the cream and eggs in a separate bowl and season with salt and pepper. I recommend using just a little salt and pepper at first and tasting again after adding the cheese to adjust the seasoning if necessary. Be creative with the seasonings - I sometimes add a little nutmeg or thyme to the egg mixture.
4. Step
Stir half of the grated cheese into the egg and cream mixture, then add the leek and mix well.
5. Step
Spread the mixture evenly over the shortcrust pastry in the tin and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake the quiche for about 25 minutes or until golden brown and the filling is set.
6. Step
Leave the vegetarian leek quiche to cool for a few minutes before removing it from the tin - this will help it to keep its shape and make it easier to serve.
