Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
2 cups sliced leeks
1 (9 inch) frozen pie crust, thawed
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
¼ cup grated Romano cheese
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1 ¾ cups heavy cream
1 tomato, thinly sliced
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the leeks until tender. Spread evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
  • In a bowl, toss together the Swiss cheese, Romano cheese, and flour. Spread over the leeks.
  • In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs and heavy cream. Pour over the cheese layer in the pie crust. Top with the tomato slices, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), and continue baking 30 minutes, until the crust is lightly browned and a knife inserted in the center of the quiche comes out clean.

I love the fact that this quiche is made with whole wheat flour. It gives it a nutty flavor and it's more nutritious than traditional white flour.
