    Preparation Steps

    1

    First, prepare the pastry if using homemade. Roll out the pastry and place it into a pie dish. Once the pastry is in place, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to prevent it from shrinking during baking.

    2

    Slice the leeks into thin rings. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the leeks. Sauté the leeks for 5-7 minutes, until softened and slightly caramelized.

    3

    Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the heavy cream and milk. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk well to combine.

    4

    Stir the grated cheese into the egg mixture, then add the softened leeks.

    5

    Pour the prepared mixture over the pastry in the pie dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

    6

    Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing and serving.
