Spring Quiche Trio


Don't those leeks look yummy! Have no idea what to do with 'em? Here's a recipe to jumpstart your creativity! It comes from the book: Simply in Season. This cookbook is a fantastic resource for those of us trying to cook in season for the first time. Check it out!

  • 3 pastured eggs
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 9-inch pie crust

Filling:

  • 1cup leeks (thinly sliced)
  • 1cup broccoli (chopped)
  • 2cups spinach (chopped)
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese (shredded)
  • 1/2 cup bacon (fried & crumbled)

Saute leeks and broccoli together ina greased frypan 5-10 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Place bacon and cheese in bottom of crust, then top with vegetable mixture.

Pour filling into crust topped by egg-milk mixture and ending with a sprinkle of reserved cheese. Bake in preheated oven at 425F for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350F and bake until browned on top and set in the middle, another 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving. Be creative! Any spring veggies will go great in this quiche!
