Notes LOW-CARB LEEK QUICHE Preparation
Clean the leeks well to remove any sand. Slice thinly and saut? in butter until tender. Beat the eggs, cream, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Put about 3/4 of the cheese in a greased pie plate or quiche pan. Evenly spread the leeks over the cheese. Pour in the egg mixture; top with the remaining cheese. Bake at 350? for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown on top. Let stand a few minutes before slicing.
Notes
Can be frozen
This is based on a recipe from the Atkins website. I bought Gruyere cheese as the recipe said, but after smelling it, I ended up using Swiss cheese instead. Gruyere is much too strong and stinky for my taste. Adding a bit of the cheese to the top of the quiche gave it a little bit of crunch,
