Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven on to 180 °C (gas mark 6). If you're using a pie pan, oil it lightly so the dough doesn't stick.

  2. Prep the leeks

    Wash the leeks carefully under cold water to remove any dirt. Slice them thinly, keeping a little of the green. Set aside.

  3. Cook the leeks

    Heat the oil in the nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook for 8 to 10 min, stirring now and then, until tender and lightly golden.

    Tip · To keep the leeks from darkening while they cook, add a splash of water to the skillet if needed and partly cover with a lid.

  4. Roll out the dough

    Take the pie dough out of its packaging and lay it in the pie pan, pressing it well against the sides so it fits the shape. Prick the bottom with a fork so it doesn't puff up while baking.

  5. Make the quiche filling

    In the mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the crème fraîche. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until smooth.

  6. Fill the quiche

    Spread the cooked leeks over the crust. Add the quiche filling on top, making sure it covers the leeks well. Sprinkle with half the shredded cheese (20 g).

  7. Bake the quiche

    Bake the quiche at 180 °C for 25 to 30 min, until the top is nicely golden and the filling is set.

    Tip · To check that the quiche is done, stick the tip of a knife in the center: it should come out dry.

  8. Make the salad

    Wash and dry the lettuce. Tear it roughly into pieces if the leaves are large. Set aside in a bowl.

  9. Serve

    Take the quiche out of the oven. Sprinkle with the rest of the shredded cheese (20 g). Serve the quiche hot with the green salad on the side.

And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.
