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 1 quiche, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium leeks, washed thoroughly and sliced thinly
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 large egg yolks
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 pinch fresh grated nutmeg
4 ounces mild goat cheese, crumbled
1 (9 inch) partially baked pie crusts, baked until light golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes (warm)

The quiche was good, but I think it could have used a bit more seasoning.

I found this quiche to be a bit bland. The flavors were not very pronounced.

This quiche was a bit too heavy for my taste. The crust was a bit too thick and the filling was a bit too rich.

I'm not a huge fan of leeks, but I really enjoyed this quiche. The goat cheese and leeks were a great combination, and the crust was flaky and delicious.
