Leek Gruyere Quiche

"When I make this quiche for guests, I double the recipe and make one quiche as written and another one without the ham for vegetarians."

Ingredients :

• Crust:
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tablespoon cold water, or as needed
• Filling:
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 leeks, white parts only, thinly sliced
• 4 eggs
• 9 ounces creme fraiche
• 3/4 cup grated Gruyere cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Emmentaler cheese
• 1/3 cup cubed fully cooked ham
• freshly ground white pepper
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg

Instructions :

Prep : 25M	Cook : 8M	Ready in : 1H30M

• Combine flour, butter, 1 egg, and salt in a bowl. Knead together with your hands, adding as much water as needed, in small amounts, to create a smooth dough. Shape dough into a ball, flatten, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch springform pan.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet and cook leeks over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Remove dough from fridge. Dust a work surface with flour and roll out dough into a circle about 1 inch larger than the springform pan. Fold carefully in half, lift up, and unfold over the pan. Press over the bottom and 1 inch up the sides.
• Whisk 4 eggs and creme fraiche in a bowl. Stir in leeks, Gruyere cheese, Emmentaler cheese, and ham. Season with white pepper and nutmeg. Pour over the crust and spread evenly with the back of a spoon.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set, about 30 minutes.

Notes :

• Use thin leek stalks if available - they taste better. If they are very thin, use 3 leeks.
