Ingredients
- 400-450g ready-made puff pastry
- 100g Butter, plus extra for greasing
- 6 Leeks, sliced
- 100g Gruyère cheese, grated
- 10 Eggs
- 500ml full-fat Milk
- 500ml double cream
- 100g Roquefort cheese, crumbled
- salad, to serve
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4.2. Grease a 25cm spring form tin with butter and line it with the pastry, allowing the pastry to hang over the edges of the tin slightly. Bake the pastry for about 20 minutes, or until golden-brown. Once the pastry is browned, reduce the oven temperature to 150C/gas 2.
3. Heat the butter in a pan and fry the leeks until softened. Once cooked, set aside to cool.
4. Spread the cooled leeks evenly in the pastry case and sprinkle over the gruyère.
5. Whisk together the eggs, milk and cream in a bowl. Pour this mixture over the leeks and gruyère in the pastry case. Dot over the crumbed roquefort.
6. Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes, or until the egg filling is set and the quiche is golden-brown. If the pastry begins to go too brown, cover the edges of the quiche with foil until the filling is cooked.
7. Serve in slices with salad

A delicious recipe, but the quantity of filling is far too much for the size of tin!! The pastry "puffs up" too much to allow much filling - perhaps it should be baked blind??? So 5 stars for taste, but 2 stars for accuracy of ingredients!
