Hey there! If you’re like me, you might have fond memories of quiche gracing your dinner table more often than not. But let’s be real, quiches seemed to take a backseat in recent years, probably because they were all the rage back in the ’80s. But guess what? They’re making a comeback! And this lighter version, packed with veggies, is just what we need. Pair it with a fresh salad for a delightful weeknight dinner.
Leek, Mushroom, and Goat Cheese Quiche
Serves: 8
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 leeks, thinly sliced and cleaned
- 1 pound mushrooms, thinly sliced (any kind will do)
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Coarse or kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 3 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Roll out the pie crust into a deep 9-inch pie pan.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the leeks and mushrooms, sautéing until they’re softened and golden, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cream, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Spread the leek and mushroom mixture evenly in the pie crust, dotting with goat cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the center is just slightly jiggly and the top is beautifully golden and puffed. A knife inserted in the center should come out mostly clean. Let it cool in the pan on a wire rack, then serve warm or at room temperature.
