Leek and Mushroom Quiche


By A New York Foodie (Visit website)



I love quiche and have been making this one for years.  You can use other vegetables if you want but this one is made with leeks and mushrooms.  It goes wonderful with a big salad.  I usually make two and freeze one as they freeze very well.









Leek and Mushroom Quiche
Serves 4







Ingredients
1 (9-inch) pie shell
1/4 C. butter 
1 C. thinly sliced leeks, white bottoms only
1/2 lb. fresh sliced mushrooms
1 C. grated cheddar cheese (you can also use Swiss cheese)
3 eggs
1 1/2 C. evaporated milk or half and-half
1/2 t. salt
freshly ground black pepper
pinch of cayenne pepper

Directions

Prepare pie shell. Place in pie pan and prick bottom and sides with tines of a 
fork. Bake at 450°F. for 4 to 5 minutes or just until it begins to brown. Remove 
from oven and set aside to cool.

In skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Sauté the leeks until tender. Place 
cooked leeks in plate and set aside while you sauté mushrooms.

Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and sauté mushrooms, over medium-high heat, 
until they are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Sprinkle half of the grated cheese over bottom of pie shell. Add leeks and 
mushrooms and remaining cheese.

In separate bowl, beat eggs, then add evaporated milk or half-and-half, salt and 
peppers. Slowly pour over vegetables and cheese.

Bake at 325°F. for 30-35 minutes or until center appears to be set and top is browned.
