Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon for greasing the pan
4 leeks, upper (dark) green part removed, split lengthwise, halved again lengthwise and cut into 2-inch strips. Wash and drain the strips carefully
Kosher salt
Freshly ground white pepper
8 eggs
8 ounces fresh goat cheese, cut into slices
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups milk
Hot sauce, few drops
Worcestershire, few drops
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 of butter over medium heat. When the butter starts to froth and brown slightly on the edges, 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 to cool.
  • 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, to taste. 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.
  • The test: It's a lot harder to check the seasoning of an uncooked quiche batter. If desired, heat a pan, add a touch of butter and cook a tiny bit of the batter for 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning of batter, if needed.
  • Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch baking dish with the remaining tablespoon of butter and fill with the cooled leeks and top with 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 and bubbly.

This quiche is the perfect make-ahead breakfast or brunch dish. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables.

This quiche was a disappointment. The filling was watery and the crust was soggy.

I'm not a big fan of quiche, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The crustless version is much lighter than traditional quiche, and the filling was very flavorful.

This recipe was easy to follow and the quiche turned out great! I especially liked the creamy texture of the filling.

The quiche was a little dry. I think I should have added more milk or cream.

This quiche was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

This crustless quiche is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped spinach, bell pepper, and mushrooms, and it was delicious. The quiche was also very easy to make and didn't take long to bake.

I made this quiche for brunch and it was a crowd-pleaser. Everyone loved the light and fluffy texture, and the flavors were spot-on. Definitely a recipe I'll be making again!
