Ingredients
Quiche
- 1½ pounds leeks, about 2 large
- ⅓ cup Clebby’s Avocado Oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ½ pound cooked bacon, chopped
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup (4 ounces) Gruyere, shredded
Crust
- 1⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup Clebby’s Avocado Oil
- ¼ cup water, cold
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Pour in Clebby’s Avocado Oil and water and stir until incorporated.
- Press the dough into a 9-inch pie pan. Use a fork to prick small holes across the surface to allow steam to escape as it bakes.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
- Meanwhile, remove the dark green ends of the leek and thinly slice the remaining light green and white parts. Place them in a bowl of water to remove any sediment then drain.
- Add Clebby’s Avocado Oil to a large skillet with sliced leeks and heat over medium-low.
- Saute until softened, about 20 minutes. Stir in garlic and saute for another minute.
- Combine eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, and pepper and set aside.
- Spread the sauteed leeks across the bottom of the cooked pastry.
- Top with crumbled bacon and shredded Gruyere cheese. Pour the prepared custard over the top and finish with a few cracks of pepper.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
