Servings: 6

Ingredients

Pie crust
1 (9-inch)
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Leeks
2, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll out the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch (23 cm) quiche dish or pie pan. Trim any excess crust.
  3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and sauté until they are softened, about 5 minutes.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown.

  9. Garnish the quiche with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.
