Leek And Goat Cheese Quiche - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 medium leeks, washed thoroughly and sliced thinly
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 pinch fresh grated nutmeg
4 ounces mild goat cheese, crumbled
1 (9 inch) partially baked pie crusts, baked until light golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes (warm)

Preparation

Adjust oven rack to center position and heat oven to 375 degrees.
Saute white parts leeks in butter over medium heat until soft, 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk all remaining ingredients except goat cheese in medium bowl.
Spread goat cheese and leeks evenly over bottom of warm pie shell and set shell on oven rack.
Pour in custard mixture to 1/2-inch below crust rim.
Bake until lightly golden brown and a knife blade inserted about one inch from the edge comes out clean, and center feels set but soft like gelatin, 32 to 35 minutes.
Transfer quiche to rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
