Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 20 min.

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.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Add the sliced leeks, mix well, cover and cook for about 10 minutes...

Stage 3 - 1 min.

...until leeks are soft, but keep a pretty green colour.

Salt and pepper only now.

Stage 4 - 1 min.

Melt 30 g butter.

Stage 5 - 1 min.

Place a sheet of filo pastry in front of you.

Stage 6 - 1 min.

Coat the whole surface with butter, using a brush.

Stage 7 - 1 min.

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.

Stage 8 - 5 min.

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).

Stage 9 - 1 min.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Prepare 500 g Quiche filling mixture.

Stage 10 - 1 min.

Put the leeks into the pastry case in an even layer.

Stage 11 - 1 min.

Pour in the mixture.

Stage 12 - 1 min.

Put slices of cheese on top.

Stage 13 - 30 min.

Put in the oven for about 30 minutes.

Stage 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.

Keeping

Several days in the fridge, covered by a plastic film.

Passion fruit jellies

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
