Leek and mushroom quiche
If you use a ready made dough, this quiche will be ready in no time. I often make quiches because I like to have one in the fridge. It's perfect for snacking during the day. This quiche can be served hot or cold.

- Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Line a pie dish or tart tin with the sheet of pastry, cutting away the excess.
- Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat, and cook the leek for 5 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in another frying pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the cream and season with the nutmeg, salt and pepper. Mix with a fork or a whisk for several minutes. Add the grated cheese and mix again.
- Add a layer of leek and mushrooms to the pastry case. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.

Excellant and tasty, even though I forgot to pre bake the pastry. Added quite a few different herbs and lots of ground black pepper. - 15 Jan 2015
