Yield Makes one 9-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 11

All-purpose flour, for work surface
1/2 recipe Pate Brisee for Woven Dried-Fruit Tart
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 leeks, whites and light green parts only, halved lenthwise, sliced crosswise 1/4-inch thick
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups freshly grated gruyere cheese
3 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 12-inch circle. Fit dough into a 10-inch round fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing into edges. Trim dough to a 1/2-inch overhang all around. Fold edge of dough over to create an edge that extends 1/4-inch above the pan. Lightly prick bottom of dough all over with a fork. Chill until firm about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line bottom of dough with parchment paper, leaving at least a 1-inch overhang. Fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges are just beginning to turn golden, about 30 minutes. Remove parchment paper and weights; continue baking until lightly golden all over, 10 to 15 minutes more. Cool tart shell completely on a wire rack.
  • Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks soften and begin to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle half of the cheese over the bottom of the tart shell, top with cooked leek mixture and sprinkle with remaining cheese. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, yolk, milk, cream, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour mixture over leeks and cheese. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool 10 minutes before serving, or serve at room temperature.

This quiche was a total flop. The leeks didn't caramelize and the quiche was dry and crumbly. I don't know what went wrong, but I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I've never made quiche before, but this recipe was easy to follow and the quiche turned out great! The leeks added a nice sweetness and the Gruyère cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.

This quiche was a bit of a disappointment. The leeks didn't caramelize properly and the quiche was overall pretty bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I thought this quiche was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland and the texture was a bit dry. I probably won't make it again.

Overall, I thought this quiche was pretty good. It was easy to make and the flavor was nice. However, I think I would have preferred it with a bit more cheese.

I found the instructions for this quiche to be a bit confusing. I ended up having to make a few adjustments in order to get it right.

This quiche was a bit too eggy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a well-made quiche.

I've made this quiche several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The leeks caramelize beautifully and the quiche is always cooked perfectly.

This quiche was a hit with my family! The caramelized leeks added a lovely sweetness and depth of flavor. I also loved the addition of Gruyère cheese, which gave the quiche a rich and nutty flavor.
