Leek Quiche with Wild Garlic

This quiche features wild garlic, which grows abundantly in my area for about a
month each spring. I love the smell of wild garlic which evokes many memories of
walking home from school during my year in Belgium as an exchange student many
years ago. This makes one 10" (26 cm) quiche.

Instructions

1 If you use your own pastry crust dough, prepare it first since it must sit in
the refrigerator about 30 minutes before rolling it out. If you are using
store-bought dough, no need to worry about the dough until it's time to use it.
2 Wash and dice the white part of the leeks. Put the oil in a pan over medium heat
and then add the diced leeks. Continue cooking the leeks until they become
translucent yet still retain a little firmness (about 5 minutes). Make sure the
leeks are not too soft, especially since they will continue to cook more when
the quiche is in the oven. Add the chopped wild garlic and cook for another
minute or so. Wild garlic does not need to cook long. Add your seasoning (salt,
pepper and thyme or other herbs). Let cool slightly.
3 In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, milk and grated cheese.
4 Roll out the pasty crust dough and place it over your baking dish, leaving a
little room on top for decoration. I usually just crimp the dough between my
thumb and forefinger as I go around the dish. If you are feeling more artistic
or creative, feel free to add other designs to make your quiche stand out.
5 Choose between Options 1 and 2 below. Option 1: Fold the vegetables into the
egg-milk mixture. Pour the mixture into the quiche crust. Option 2: Spread the
vegetables along the bottom of the crust in the pan and then pour the egg-milk
mixture on top. This option is especially good if your filling is composed of
items that would make your quiche more presentable (for example, with asparagus
stalks).
6 Put the quiche into the pre-heated oven and cook for about 45-50 minutes until
the top is lightly browned and the crust starts pulling away from the pan.
