Leek and Goat Cheese Quiche

May 31, 2010 By Bill

The center of the quiche will be surprisingly soft when it comes out of the oven, but the filling will continue to set (and sink somewhat) as it cools. If the pie shell has been previously baked and cooled, place it in the preheating oven for about five minutes to warm it, taking care it does not burn. Because ingredients in the variations that follow are bulkier, the amount of custard mixture has been reduced to prevent overflowing the crust. Be sure to wash the leeks thoroughly to remove any grit.

2 medium leeks–washed and cut into 2-inch dice (about 2 cups)

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

2 large eggs

2 large egg yolks

3/4 cup whole milk

3/4 cup heavy cream

1/2 tsp table salt

1/2 tsp ground white pepper

pinch fresh grated nutmeg

4 oz. mild goat cheese broken into 1/2-inch pieces

1 nine-inch partially baked pie shell (warm) baked until light golden brown, 5-6 minutes

1–Adjust oven rack to center position and heat to 375 degrees. Saute’ white leek parts in butter over medium heat until soft; 5-7 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk all remaining ingredients, except goat cheese, in medium bowl

2–Spread goat cheese and leeks evenly over bottom of the warm pie shell and set shell on oven rack. Pour in custard mixture to 1/2-inch below crust rim. Bake until lightly golden brown and a knife blade inserted about one inch from the edge comes out clean. Center should feel set, but soft like gelatin, 32-35 minutes. Transfer quiche to rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temp.

Serves 8

🥶 Yesterday morning we opened the fridge to fin 🥶 Yesterday morning we opened the fridge to find that it had decided it would rather be a freezer. This affected not only our CSA harvest, but our restaurant, Kitsap Fresh, and food bank orders as well. This amounts to a lot of food and labor hours in the compost. We tried to salvage or replace what we could, but of course, if you received something damaged that we missed, please reach out!

We are so grateful to our subscribers and community members for being so understanding in the face of a hard situation. And of course, we are grateful for each other- our amazing team was able to still have a pretty successful day in the face of it all. #walkinblues #farmlife #earlyfrost
