Time 1h15m

Yield Makes one 9-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon for greasing the pan
4 leeks, upper (dark) green part removed, split lengthwise, halved again lengthwise and then cut into 2-inch strips, carefully washed and drained
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
4 eggs
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, cut into slices
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
A few drops hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
A few drops Worcestershire sauce
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 butter. When the butter starts to froth and brown slightly on the edges of the pan, 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.
  • 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. 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.
  • Grease the bottom and sides of the baking dish with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and fill with the quiche 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. Allow to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before cutting.

I'm not a fan of leeks, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it! The leeks were mild and flavorful, and the quiche was very creamy and cheesy.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my quiche didn't turn out well. The filling was too runny and the crust was soggy.

This quiche was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some additional herbs or spices.

This quiche was absolutely delicious! The leeks and cheese were a perfect combination, and the lack of a crust made it feel light and airy. I will definitely be making this again.
