Resumo para quem tem pressa
"The leek quiche offers a velvety filling of eggs, heavy cream, and gratin cheese over crispy dough. The gentle sauté of leeks in butter brings a balanced sweetness to special meals."
O Que Você Precisa Saber
- Pre-sautéing the leeks in butter reduces excess liquid and intensifies their natural sugars. - Beating the eggs with heavy cream forms a silky cream that coagulates softly in the oven. - Cooking at 180°C for 35 minutes gratins the cheese and browns the ready-made dough base homogeneously.
Ingredients
Main Course
- 300g of ready-made pie dough
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 sliced leeks
- 4 eggs
- 200ml of heavy cream
- 150g of grated cheese (parmesan or mozzarella)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley

Chef Tips
Variations
- Add 100g of chopped bacon browned in the skillet along with the leek for a smoky touch. - Place a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg into the liquid egg mixture to give an aromatic touch. - Incorporate 1 cup of sliced mushrooms sautéed in butter along with the soft leek.
Substitutions
- The ready-made pie crust can be swapped for ready-made laminated puff pastry, using the same weight of 300g. - Traditional heavy cream can be replaced with fresh ricotta cream with whole milk. - The grated mozzarella can be swapped for grated gruyère cheese or semi-cured canastra cheese.
How to Store
Let it cool completely before covering with plastic wrap. Store the quiche in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 3 days. To reheat while keeping the crust flaky, place in a preheated oven at 160°C for 12 minutes.
Can You Freeze It?
Freeze the baked quiche whole or in slices wrapped in plastic wrap and aluminum foil for up to 60 days. To consume, take it straight to the preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 minutes until the center is hot.
What to Serve With
Serve with a green leaf salad with a classic mustard and extra virgin olive oil vinaigrette. Pairs well with a glass of dry white wine, chilled white grape juice, or refreshing iced mate tea.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the pie crust base get moist and soft?
This happens when the leek still contains too much water when entering the pie; sauté well until the pan is dry.
Can I pre-bake the crust before pouring in the liquid filling?
Yes, prick the base with a fork and bake for 10 minutes at 180°C to make it more impermeable and crispy.
How to know if the central filling of the quiche is well cooked?
Move the pan slightly; the center should be firm without wobbling, and a wooden toothpick should come out clean and moist.
Can I use boxed heavy cream instead of canned with whey?
Yes, boxed heavy cream works very well, just mix gently with the eggs without beating too much.
