Yield Makes 8 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 round of refrigerated pie dough for a 9-inch pie (from a 15-oz package; not a preshaped frozen pie shell)
3/4 lb leeks (about 3 medium; white and pale green parts only)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 lb thinly sliced smoked ham
3 oz Gruyère, coarsely grated (1 cup)
3 oz Italian Fontina, coarsely grated (1 cup)
3 oz whole-milk mozzarella, coarsely grated (1 cup)
3 large eggs
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 3/4 cups crème fraîche (from two 8-oz containers)
Special Equipment
a 9-inch pie plate (4-cup capacity)

Steps:

  • Prebake pie dough in pie plate according to package instructions, then remove from oven and reduce temperature to 350°F.
  • Meanwhile, halve leeks lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces, then wash well in a bowl of cold water, agitating leeks. Lift out and drain leeks in a colander and pat dry. Melt butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat and cook leeks, stirring occasionally, until very tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Line warm pie shell with sliced ham, overlapping layers as necessary to cover bottom and side of pie shell completely. Toss cheeses together and sprinkle evenly into pie shell (do not pack cheese), then spread leeks evenly on top of cheese. Whisk together eggs, nutmeg, and pepper until combined well, then whisk in crème fraîche until smooth.
  • Carefully pour half of custard on top of pie filling, gently moving cheese with a spoon to help custard disperse evenly. Slowly add remaining custard in same manner. Cover pie loosely with foil, gently folding edges over crust (keep foil from touching top of cheese mixture) and transfer to a baking sheet.
  • Bake until center of filling is puffed and set (center will be slightly wobbly but not liquid), about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Cool on a rack at least 20 to 30 minutes before serving (filling will continue to set as it cools). Serve warm or at room temperature.

EASY THREE CHEESE QUICHE

Categories     Egg

Yield 6 People

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 refrigerated pie crust
8 oz Swiss cheese, shredded
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar
5 eggs
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 grinds of fresh pepper
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Let refrigerated crust stand at room temperature 15 minutes, then gently unroll. Place in 9" pie pan, press into bottom and up sides, and flute edges. Sprinkle Swiss chefs into the bottom of the pie crust. If adding meats or veggies, add these next, then cover with cheddar cheese; set aside. In medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients (except Parmesan) and beat with a wire whisk until smooth and incorporated. Pour carefully over cheeses in crust. Sprinkle Parmesan on top. Bake for 45 minutes until quiche is puffed, golden brown, and set. Let stand 5-10 minutes, then cut into wedges to serve.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your quiche. Use a combination of cheeses that you enjoy and that will melt well together. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Gruyère, and Swiss.
  • Don't overcook the quiche. The quiche is done when the center is just set. If you overcook it, the quiche will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing. This will help the quiche to hold its shape when you cut it.
  • Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature. Quiche is a versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great option for potlucks and picnics.
