Leek, mushroom & gruyère quiche image

A favourite of Good Food's associate food ed, this quiche just had to be on the site. Perfect comfort food

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Afternoon tea, Buffet, Dinner, Main course, Snack, Starter, Supper

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

25g butter
4 leeks, sliced and washed
250g pack chestnut mushroom, sliced
2 eggs
284ml double cream
140g gruyère, coarsely grated
280g plain flour
140g cold butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • To make the pastry, tip the flour and butter into a bowl, then rub together with your fingertips until completely mixed and crumbly. Add 8 tbsp cold water, then bring everything together with your hands until just combined. Roll into a ball and use straight away or chill for up to 2 days. The pastry can also be frozen for up to a month.
  • Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a round about 5cm larger than a 25cm tin. Use your rolling pin to lift it up, then drape over the tart case so there is an overhang of pastry on the sides. Using a small ball of pastry scraps, push the pastry into the corners of the tin (see picture, above left). Chill in the fridge or freezer for 20 mins. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
  • While the pastry is chilling, heat the butter in a pan and cook the leeks for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until they soften. Then turn up the heat and add the mushrooms. Cook for 5 mins more, then turn off the heat.
  • Lightly prick the base of the tart with a fork, line the tart case with a large circle of greaseproof paper or foil, then fill with baking beans. Blind-bake the tart for 20 mins, remove the paper and beans, then continue to cook for 5-10 mins until biscuit brown
  • While the tart case cooks, beat the eggs in a bowl, then gradually add the cream. Stir in the leeks, mushrooms and half the cheese. Season, then tip the filling into the tart case. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese, then bake for 20-25 mins until set and golden brown. Leave to cool in the case, trim the edges of the pastry, then remove and serve in slices.

LEEK QUICHE



Leek Quiche image

We often have potluck breakfasts at my school. I came up with this leek quiche recipe so I could bring something different and filling to share. You can make it in the large pie version or in little tartlets. And if you want to make it vegetarian, just eliminate the sausage. —Kathryn Dampier, Quail Valley, California

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh leeks, mushrooms, and cheese will make a big difference in the flavor of your quiche.
  • Don't overcook the leeks and mushrooms: They should be soft, but not mushy.
  • Use a good quality puff pastry: This will help to create a flaky, golden crust.
  • Blind-bake the pastry crust before filling it: This will help to prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Don't overfill the quiche: There should be about 1/2 inch of space between the filling and the top of the crust.
  • Bake the quiche at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes: This will help to create a golden crust.
  • Reduce the temperature and continue baking until the quiche is set: The center of the quiche should be slightly wobbly when you shake the pan.
  • Let the quiche cool slightly before serving: This will help to prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

This leek and mushroom quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables, and it's also a vegetarian dish that everyone will enjoy. Serve it with a side salad for a complete meal.
