Leek Bacon And Goats Cheese Quiche Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prick pie crust all over with a fork; place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Remove crust and set aside to cool slightly; reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees (190 degrees C).
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and simmer leeks just until tender, about 7 minutes; drain thoroughly.
• Whisk eggs, heavy cream, milk, chives, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Spread leeks evenly over bottom of pie crust; dot with goat cheese. Pour egg mixture over leeks.
• Bake in the preheated oven until puffed, lightly browned, and a sharp knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove to cool until warm or room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to center position and heat oven to 375 degrees.
• Sauté white parts leeks in butter over medium heat until soft, 10-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk all remaining ingredients except goat cheese in medium bowl.
• Spread goat cheese and leeks evenly over bottom of 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, and center feels set but soft like gelatin, 32 to 35 minutes.
• Transfer quiche to rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Turn on oven to 180°C to let oven come up to temperature.
• Slice leeks finely. Slice bacon into strips, and again into pieces. Grate cheese.
• Fry bacon with a little butter, then add leek and fry until soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a bowl, break all eggs. Whisk and add dijon mustard. Continue whisking.
• In a shaker, add milk, cream and flour. Shake to mix, then add to egg mix whilst continuing to whisk. Season with salt & pepper.
• Add first measure of cheese and mix well with egg mixture.
• Assemble leeks and bacon in quiche dish (26cm), add egg mixture and use hand to mix all together.
• Add remaining grated cheese to top of mixture and sprinkle with paprika (optional).
• Bake for 20-25 minutes at 180°C, or until center is set.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until brown and crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble when cool enough to handle.
• Saute leeks in the bacon fat over medium heat until soft, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Place pie crust in a glass, deep-dish pie pan. Spread leeks over the bottom of the crust, then sprinkle bacon crumbs over top.
• Whisk half-and-half and eggs together in a medium bowl. Toss Cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and flour together in a small bowl. Mix cheese mixture into the egg mixture, then pour into the pie crust. Top with tomato slices and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
