Goat Cheese and Leek Quiche
Quiche is one of those favorite dinners in our house and this quiche is just a little extra classy. Instead of some of the more traditional versions (like broccoli cheddar, featured on this site) this quiche combines sautéed leeks, with their earthy flavor, and creamy goat cheese, with its slight tang to balance the flavors. Make this for family dinner or when friends pop over for a last minute brunch. You can double this recipe and freeze one quiche for another occasion.
