New Recipe Wednesday

I got this recipe from my mom. I don't know where it's from originally. So easy to make, and sooo good.

Leek and Bacon Quiche


Ingredients:


  • 9 inch pie crust
  • butter or olive oil
  • 1 leek, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices of bacon, chopped
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tbs. dijon mustard
  • 1 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
  • 5 tbs. heavy cream

Instructions:

  • Saute the bacon and leeks in a little butter or olive oil. (Start the bacon first so it gets a bit browned and the leeks don't burn.)

  • Whisk eggs, mustard, cream. Add cheese.
  • Add bacon and leeks to mixture and pour into pie shell. (I put my pie crust into a quiche pan with a removable bottom for easy removal, but any pie dish would be fine.)
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

  1. I would have never thought to throw a leek in there (I'm honestly not sure if I've ever had a leek?). Looks yummy, we'll have to try it!
