Tried a leek quiche at a friends house, and even though my partner doesn't like leeks, he like that one. This is my version as I didn't want to ask for the recipe, but I reckon this one beats it hands down anyway :) Also, had to remove crust as doing a carb-reduced diet. Ingredients:
1 large leek (white and green parts) |
3 slices smoked bacon |
7 eggs |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
1/2 cup milk |
2 tablespoons cream |
2 tablespoons flour |
1 cup tasty cheese |
1/2 cup tasty cheese (additional) |
20 g butter |
salt |
pepper |
Directions:
1. Turn on oven to 180°C to let oven come up to temperature.
2. Slice leeks finely. Slice bacon into strips, and again into pieces. Grate cheese.
3. Fry bacon with a little butter, then add leek and fry until soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. In a bowl, break all eggs. Whisk and add dijon mustard. Continue whisking.
5. In a shaker, add milk, cream and flour. Shake to mix, then add to egg mix whilst continuing to whisk. Season with salt & pepper.
6. Add first measure of cheese and mix well with egg mixture.
7. Assemble leeks and bacon in quiche dish (26cm), add egg mixture and use hand to mix all together.
8. Add remaining grated cheese to top of mixture and sprinkle with paprika (optional).
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 180°C, or until center is set.
