MINI LEEK QUICHES
I saw this on Sandra Lee's episode Cocktail Party and it looked so good I made them. Delicious! And great for a party or potluck. I hope you enjoy. I put leftovers in the freezer, then heated them up in the oven.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Rinse the leeks in a bowl of water and strain. Set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the butter. When it's melted, add the leeks and season with salt and pepper. Cook until they are soft and tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the thyme, and let cool to room temperature.
- Roll out each pie dough round onto a clean dry surface. Using a 2 1/4 inch biscuit cutter cut 12 rounds from each dough. Gently press the rounds into each of the mini muffin tins to form mini crusts.
- In a large measuring cup, whisk the cream and eggs with the pumpkin pie spice and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
- Fill each muffin cup with 1 teaspoon of the cooled leeks and top with 1 teaspoon of the cheese. Cover the filling with the egg and cream mixture. Place the muffin tins onto cookie sheets and put them into the oven. Bake until the egg mixture has set and the quiches are lightly browned, 10-15 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh leeks, eggs, and cheese will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Do not overcook the leeks: They should be softened but still have a bit of a bite.
- Use a non-stick pan: This will help to prevent the quiche from sticking and make it easier to remove from the pan.
- Preheat the oven before baking: This will help to ensure that the quiche cooks evenly.
- Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing: This will help to prevent it from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Mini leek quiches are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect mini leek quiches every time.
