LEEK AND BACON QUICHE
Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour with butter, egg, salt and 1 tablespoon of the water. Mix lightly with your fingertips until pastry forms peasized pieces. You should be able to see chunks of fat, and the pastry should be moist enough to begin to stick together. If the pastry is too dry, add up to 2 more tablespoons of water.
- Turn the pastry out onto a lightly floured work surface, dust with flour, and knead it until the pastry is smooth, about 3 to 4 times. Transfer to a plastic bag and form pastry into a disk. Refrigerate a minimum of 30 minutes, or as long as 3 days.
- Cook bacon in a skillet over low heat until tender, not crisp. Add leeks, salt and pepper, and saute until leeks are soft and bacon is crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain off excess fat, if any. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and arrange the rack in the middle of the oven. On a generously floured surface, roll pastry from center out, lifting pastry, turning it slightly, and occasionally flipping to prevent sticking. Roll pastry to 1/8inch thickness. Lightly butter and flour a 9inch pie pan and line with pastry, leaving about 1/4inch overhang for shrinkage. Pinch up excess pastry to form a rim and flute the edges. Prick the bottom all over with a fork.
- Line pastry with a sheet of parchment or aluminum foil larger than the pan, and fill with pie weights, rice, or beans. Bake about 20 minutes, until the edges begin to color. Remove the paper and weights, and spread the mustard over the bottom of the pastry. Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs lightly with the milk. Stir in bacon and cheese mixture. Pour the custard into the pie shell to within 1/4inch of the top of the crust. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until custard puffs. Allow to cool 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or room temperature.
CRUSTLESS LEEK, BACON & CHEESE QUICHE
Tried a leek quiche at a friends house, and even though my partner doesn't like leeks, he like that one. This is my version as I didn't want to ask for the recipe, but I reckon this one beats it hands down anyway :) Also, had to remove crust as doing a carb-reduced diet.

BACON & LEEK QUICHE
I got this recipe out of either Gourmet or Bon Apetite years ago. The bacon and leek combination with the nutmeg is great. It is easily doubled, reheats in the microwave easily, and freezes well. We often have this for breakfast during the week.

Steps:
- Cook bacon until crisp, but do not over cook.
- Set aside to drain.
- Drain off fat from pan, leaving just a light coating in the pan.
- Add the sliced leeks, and cook over medium until wilted and limp, but do not brown.
- Set aside to cool.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Brush pie crust with the beaten egg white.
- Finely chop the bacon and sprinkle evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
- Sprinkle the leeks evenly over the bacon.
- Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the leeks.
- Beat the whole eggs, egg yolk, cream, half and half, herbs and nutmeg until well mixed, slightly thick and a lemon color.
- Slowly pour over the bacon, leek and cheese mixture.
- Smush down the cheese that floats to the top to coat with the egg mixture.
- It will settle down while baking.
- Sprinkle the top with paprika for a little extra color, if you like.
- Bake at 350 for about 35 min, or until knife inserted off center comes out clean.
- Let set 30 minutes before cutting.
- This can be served warm, room temperature or cold.
- I have made this for vegetarians without the bacon, and it is still quite good.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until brown and crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble when cool enough to handle.
- Saute leeks in the bacon fat over medium heat until soft, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Place pie crust in a glass, deep-dish pie pan. Spread leeks over the bottom of the crust, then sprinkle bacon crumbs over top.
- Whisk half-and-half and eggs together in a medium bowl. Toss Cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and flour together in a small bowl. Mix cheese mixture into the egg mixture, then pour into the pie crust. Top with tomato slices and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
