LEEK & GRUYERE QUICHE

Ingredients

Half-recipe savory pie dough
1 Tbsp butter
1 1/2 cups (375mL) chopped leeks, white or light green portion only
1 cup (80g) coarsely grated Gruyere cheese
4 large eggs
1 2/3 cups (400mL) whipping Cream Nutmeg can be pinch grated pinch salt & pepper

First of all, Roll out the pastry to about 1/4-inch thickness on a floured surface. After dusting the pastry with flour, line a fluted tart pan with removable bottom.
Trim any excess dough. The pastry should be chilled for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Place the chilled pastry shell onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. To prevent air pockets from developing, pierce the crust’s bottom with a fork. Cover the crust with foil.
Fill the shell with beans or raw rice (or pie weights). Bake the crust for 10 min, then take out the foil and weights and bake another 10 minutes. The crust will brown only at the edges, which is less than traditional pie crust.
Let the crust cool before you prepare the filling.
The oven temperature should be reduced to 350 F (180 C). Now Heat the butter in a pan on medium heat. Add the leeks and sautee for 10 minutes.
Spread the leeks on the crust, then top it with grated Gruyere.
Allowthe mixture to slowly be poured into the crust. Bake the quiche for 40-45 minutes or until it is no longer wobbly when lightly moved. Now Let the quiche cool completely before cutting and serving. Then, warm the quiche in a 300 F (140 C oven) for 30 minutes before you serve.
