Impossible Leek & Prosciutto Quiche
A retro pub lunch classic that somehow never goes out of style.
Ingredients
8 eggs
400ml cream
Handful of dill, chopped
1 spring onion, finely chopped
1 handful baby spinach
1 tsp seeded mustard
White and light green part of 1 leek, sliced thickly
100g feta, crumbled
½ cup cheddar, grated
3 strips prosciutto, finely diced
Salt & pepper, to taste
Oil & butter, for cooking
Method
Heat a splash of oil and a knob of butter in a pan over medium heat. Cook the leek slowly for 10–15 minutes until soft, golden and caramelised. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Season generously with salt and pepper, then stir through the dill, spring onion, spinach, seeded mustard, feta and caramelised leek.
Pour into a greased round baking dish and scatter over the diced prosciutto.
Bake at 180°C for 45–50 minutes, or until just set with a slight wobble in the centre.
Serve warm with a side salad, or cold straight from the fridge the next day. Somehow even better as leftovers.
