Let’s Cook: Ricotta and Leek Quiche Recipe

May 7, 2012 by Dishesbymichelle Leave a Comment

I love making quiches… they’re easy to make and don’t require a ton of time in the kitchen.  

The perfect recipe for the perfect weekend in bed!

Ricotta & Leek Quiche

Ingredients

  • 1 8 oz. container Low Fat Ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg beaten
  • ½ c heavy cream
  • 2 Leeks halved & sliced
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 1 package pre-made piecrust

 

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.  Pour into a pie dish that you’ve placed the crust into.  

Bake in the oven at 325 degrees for 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the inside doesn’t jiggle when you move the pie dish.

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 Can Smoked Chilies
  • 1 Package Frozen Spinach
  • ½ cup Diced Mushrooms
  • Herbs! (I happen to love fresh Thyme in my quiches.)

 

So this weekend, start your Saturday morning off with a delicious quiche. Go ahead, sit back and take a moment to yourself for breakfast!
