Time 1h15m

Yield Makes one 9-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon for greasing the pan
4 leeks, upper (dark) green part removed, split lengthwise, halved again lengthwise and then cut into 2-inch strips, carefully washed and drained
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
4 eggs
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, cut into slices
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
A few drops hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
A few drops Worcestershire sauce
8 ounces Brie cheese, cut into 8 even slices, rind trimmed

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter. When the butter starts to froth and brown slightly on the edges of the pan, shut off the heat and add the leeks. Turn the heat back to medium and season the leeks with salt and pepper. Stir to blend. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the leeks become only slightly tender. Transfer the leeks to a baking sheet and place the sheet in the refrigerator.
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Whisk the eggs to break them up. Add the slices of goat cheese and season with salt and pepper. Use a whisk to break up the goat cheese and blend it with the eggs. When it is fairly smooth, whisk in the cream, milk, hot sauce, and Worcestershire.
Grease the bottom and sides of the baking dish with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and fill with the quiche batter.
Place the dish in the center of the oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Open the oven door and gently layer the Brie slices on top of the quiche. Close the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the top is slightly brown. Allow to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before cutting.

Tips:

Prep your leeks properly: Make sure to thoroughly clean and slice your leeks to ensure they cook evenly and have a pleasant texture.
Sauté the leeks until softened: Don't rush this step; taking the time to properly sauté the leeks will bring out their sweetness and enhance the overall flavor of the quiche.
Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in this quiche, so opt for a flavorful and melty variety such as Gruyère, Cheddar, or Parmesan.
Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeaten eggs can result in a tough quiche. Whisk them just until they are combined.
Bake the quiche until the center is set: Use a toothpick or skewer to check the doneness of the quiche. It should come out clean when inserted into the center.
Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing: This will help the quiche to set properly and prevent it from falling apart.
