LEEK AND GOAT CHEESE QUICHE



Leek and Goat Cheese Quiche image

The recipe is from America's Test Kitchen, with some minor modifications made by me (highlighted in italics). Goat cheese should be fairly easy to find in any decent supermarket. I found the best value for it at a warehouse club, where they were charging less for a pound of it than a normal grocery store charged for half the amount. Make sure to wash leeks thoroughly, as they can be gritty.

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Crust:
4 tablespoons (or more) ice water
3/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) plus 1 tablespoon chilled unsalted butter
Filling:
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup crumbled aged goat cheese (such as Bûcheron), rind trimmed
1 1/2 cups Leek Confit

Steps:

  • Crust:
  • Combine 4 tablespoons ice water and cider vinegar in small bowl. Blend flour and salt in processor. Add butter and cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. With machine running, slowly add water-vinegar mixture, processing until moist clumps form. If dough seems dry, add ice water by teaspoonfuls.
  • Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep refrigerated. Allow dough to soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375°F. Roll dough out on lightly floured work surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Press dough onto bottom and up sides. Fold in overhang and press to extend dough 1/2 inch above sides of pan. Line pan with foil and dried beans or pie weights. Bake until dough looks dry and set, about 30 minutes. Remove foil and beans and continue to bake until crust is pale golden, 20 to 25 minutes longer. Remove from oven and cool while preparing filling.
  • Filling:
  • Whisk milk, cream, egg, egg yolk, and salt in medium bowl to blend. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese over bottom of warm crust; spread leek confit over and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Pour milk mixture over. Bake until filling has puffed, is golden in spots, and center looks set, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool slightly. Remove pan sides. Serve warm or at room temperature.

GOAT CHEESE AND LEEK GALETTE



Goat Cheese and Leek Galette image

Categories     Cheese     Vegetable     Bake     Quick & Easy     Goat Cheese     Leek     Summer     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 2; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups sliced leeks (white and pale green parts only)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried
1 egg, beaten to blend
1 10-ounce tube refrigerated pizza crust dough
4 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet), crumbled

Steps:

  • Position rack in top third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Heat wine and butter in heavy medium skillet over medium-low heat until butter melts. Add leeks. Cover; cook until leeks are crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in marjoram. Reserve 2 teaspoons egg; stir remaining egg into leek mixture. Meanwhile, unroll pizza dough on lightly floured baking sheet. Stretch or pull dough to 13 x 10-inch rectangle. Spread leek mixture over dough, leaving 1-inch border on all sides. Sprinkle cheese and pepper over filling. Fold 1-inch border in over filling. Brush folded edge with reserved 2 teaspoons egg.
  • Bake galette until crust is golden brown, about 14 minutes. Cut galette into 4 pieces and serve warm.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh leeks. If you only have access to frozen leeks, thaw them completely before using.
  • Be careful not to overcook the leeks. They should be softened but still have a bit of a bite to them.
  • Use a good quality goat cheese. A mild, creamy goat cheese will work best.
  • Don't overfill the ramekins. The mixture will rise slightly as it bakes.
  • Bake the brulees until they are just set. They should still have a slight wobble in the center.
  • Let the brulees cool completely before serving. This will help them to firm up.
  • When you're ready to serve, sprinkle the brulees with brown sugar and caramelize it with a kitchen torch.

Conclusion:

This leek and goat cheese brulee is a delicious and elegant appetizer or side dish. It's perfect for any special occasion. The leeks are sweet and savory, the goat cheese is creamy and tangy, and the brown sugar topping is the perfect finishing touch. If you're looking for a unique and impressive dish, this leek and goat cheese brulee is definitely worth trying.
