Ingredients
  

Savoury Shortcrust Pastry

  • 200 gr Plain / All-Purpose Flour
  • 0.25 teaspoon Fine Table Salt
  • 100 gr Unsalted Butter very cold
  • 65 ml Water very cold

Quiche Filling

  • 2 small Leeks
  • 0.5 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
  • 200 gr White Cup Mushroom or your preferred variety of mushrooms
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 300 ml Thickened / Heavy Cream
  • 1.5 teaspoon Fine Table Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Herb Mix
  • 40 gr Grated Cheddar Cheese or your choice of cheese

Instructions
 

Quiche Pastry

  • Place the Flour and Salt in the bowl of your Food processor and mix to combine. Add the very cold Butter, cut into small cubes, and pulse until you get a thin crumb texture. Slowly add the cold Water while mixing until the dough starts to come together.
  • Assemble into a disk and transfer between two sheets of baking paper. Roll the Pastry into a large round, then place in the fridge to rest for at least 1 hour.
  • Take the pastry out of the fridge and leave at room temperature for about 5 minutes. Remove the baking paper and place inside a quiche pan.
  • Gently slide the pastry down the sides of the pan. Press on the bottom corners and the sides of the pan. Use a sharp knife to cut out any excess dough. Dock the bottom of the pastry.
  • Preheat your oven on 160 degree Celsius (325 degree Fahrenheit). Place the quiche pastry in the freezer. Cover with baking paper and fill with weights. Par-bake for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and baking paper and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes.

Filling

  • Wash and clean the Leek, then thinly chop it. Heat up a large saucepan with Olive Oil and add the minced garlic and leeks. Cook until the leeks are soft.
  • Brush or peel the mushrooms and cut into thin slices.
  • Place the Eggs, Cream, Salt, Pepper and Dried Herbs in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the Grated Cheese and whisk until combined.

Assembling the Quiche

  • Place the cooked Leeks and thinly sliced Mushrooms on the bottom of the pie crust.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the veggies. Optionally, top with remaining mushrooms, leeks, and cheese.
  • Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is fully baked. Leave to cool down slightly before serving.
