Step by step recipe

• 1: Wash and slice 2 leeks thinly.
  Peel and chop 1 shallot.
  Pour 4 tablespoons olive oil into a pan on medium heat. When it's hot, add the chopped shallot, salt and pepper, and cook for one or two minutes.
• 2: Add the sliced leeks, mix well, cover and cook for about 10 minutes...
• 3: ...until leeks are soft, but keep a pretty green colour.
  Salt and pepper only now.
• 4: Melt 30 g butter.
• 5: Place a sheet of filo pastry in front of you.
• 6: Coat the whole surface with butter, using a brush.
• 7: Put the sheet into your mould or dish, buttered side down.
  Trim off the surplus, and use the trimmings to completely cover the inside of the mould.
• 8: Do this with 2 or 3 layers of filo pastry, each time buttered side dowm.
  Finally butter the upper surface of the last sheet (which will be buttered both sides).
• 9: Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).
  Prepare 500 g Quiche filling mixture.
• 10: Put the leeks into the pastry case in an even layer.
• 11: Pour in the mixture.
• 12: Put slices of cheese on top.
• 13: Put in the oven for about 30 minutes.
• 14: Remove when golden brown. It's ready.

Remarks

You can use any cheese you like, but I advise you to use a soft strong-flavoured cheese: Morbier, Maroilles or Munster (for French examples), or any good goat's cheese, etc.
If you love plenty of crust, add one or two more layers of filo pastry.
