Goat Cheese and Leek Quiche

Ingredients

• 1 (9-inch) frozen pie crust (in pie pan), thawed 10 minutes
• 2 leeks (about 1 pound), trimmed, halved lengthwise and sliced
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup (2%) milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon or chives
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 ounces soft goat cheese, crumbled

Method:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Prick crust all over with a fork. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until just golden, about 15 minutes. Set crust aside and reduce oven temperature to 375°F.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add leeks and simmer until just tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain leeks thoroughly.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, tarragon, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Spread leeks in bottom of crust and dot with goat cheese. Pour egg mixture over the top and bake until puffed in the center and lightly browned, 40 to 50 minutes. Set aside to let cool until warm or serve at room temperature.
