If you’re looking for the best quiche recipe, this is it!
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 prebaked pie shell (warm), baked until light golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes
4 ounces mild goat cheese broken into 1/2-inch pieces
1. Adjust oven rack to center position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Saute white parts leeks in butter over medium heat until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk all remaining ingredients except goat cheese in a medium bowl.
2. Spread goat cheese and leeks evenly over bottom of the 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 the center feels set but soft like gelatin, 32 to 35 minutes. Transfer quiche to rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
