Leek Quiche

Description

Serves 10
Preparation time: 35 minutes

Quiche is a French term for a tart consisting of a pastry crust filled with flavorful stuffing.  Leeks don’t always get the credit they deserve for being anti-inflammatory, high in dietary fiber and vitamins A C and B6.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 8 leeks
  • Water
  • Salt 
  • 3 cups parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups turkey ham, diced*
  • 6 large or 8 small eggs, scrambled
  • Crust

 

DIRECTIONS:
1. Clean leeks very well of dirt and/or sand under running water.
2. Slice them thin and pour them in a pot.
3. Cover the leeks with hot water, add salt to taste and bring to a boil.
4. Once the leeks are soft, after boiling for about 10-12 minutes, drain the water.
5. Add the cheese, turkey, and eggs and mix well.
6. Pour mix over crust and bring to the oven at 400 degrees until you insert a toothpick and it comes out dry, approximately 20 minutes.

*For a vegetarian meal you can skip the turkey or use tofu.
