Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 6 slices of bacon, chopped
- 2 leeks, cleaned and sliced
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese
- 2 tablespoons Maille® Dijon Originale Mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced leeks and cook until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, Maille® Dijon Originale Mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Spread the cooked bacon and leeks evenly over the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and leeks, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese over the top.
- Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
This quiche is not only delicious but also versatile. You can enjoy it warm, or make it ahead of time and serve it cold for a picnic-style meal. The flavors meld beautifully as it cools, making it a fantastic dish for any occasion!
