Recipe View Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack until warm or at room temperature before serving. (20 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, sauté the leeks in a tablespoon of butter before simmering them.
If the crust edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs. Thyme or rosemary would also be delicious in this quiche.
For a dairy-free option, substitute the heavy cream and milk with a plant-based alternative, such as cashew cream or full-fat coconut milk.
