Cooking Time

Yields

4

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour;
  • ½ cup olive oil or melted butter;
  • 1 tsp. salt;
  • ½ cup water;
  • 3 eggs;
  • 150 g cheese;
  • 1 tbsp. sour cream;
  • 4 sticks leek;
  • 50 ml white wine;
  • dry basil or savory to taste.

Directions

  1. Make dough with flour, ½ tsp. salt, ½ cup of water and ½ cup of olive oil and let it rest;
  2. Chop the leek and steam it with 1-2 tbsp. olive oil, salt, spices to taste and 50 ml water or white wine;
  3. Roll the dough and form a crust ¼ inch thick. Sprinkle some flour onto the board and the dough for this;
  4. Greese the bottom and the sides of a quiche pan;
  5. Spread the crust on the bottom of the pan and form a board;
  6. Punch the crust with a fork evenly across the entire surface to prevent it from inflating;
  7. On top of it place the leek and shredded cheese;
  8. Whipped the eggs and the cream and cover the quiche;
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 400℉ until it turns golden brown (30-45 minutes);
  10. Serve with some siding of sour cream or full-fat yogurt.

Notes

  1. Instead of leek, alternatively, use onion, mushrooms, spinach, etc. (or combination of them as much as 8 oz cooked), slightly steamed as above;
  2. A non-vegetarian option (and much prefered in Burgundy) is to use fried beacon in red wine with some Herbes de Provence.
