Quiche, Ham and Leek
(Serves 6-8)
7 oz ham, sliced thin like batons or small chunks
1 large leek, thinly sliced
1 shallot, minced
4 eggs, beaten
2 oz heavy cream
3½ Gruyère cheese, shredded
2 tblsp fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, rosemary, minced
pie crust for bottom crust only
Salt and Pepper to taste
NOTES:
Pre-heat the oven to 400°F. and in 9" round glass pie plate, add the bottom crust, thinly rolled out and bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside.
I like to add, and arrange my dry ingredients first, then I mix the beaten eggs with the heavy cream and pour over the dry ingredients.
Bake for 15-20 minutes. A wooden tooth pick inserted in the center should come out clean.
