Step by step recipe

Step 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.

Step 2 - ⌛ 10 min.

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

Step 3 - ⌛ 1 min.

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

Salt and pepper only now.

Step 4 - ⌛ 1 min.

Melt 30 g butter.

Step 5 - ⌛ 1 min.

Place a sheet of filo pastry in front of you.

Step 6 - ⌛ 1 min.

Coat the whole surface with butter, using a brush.

Step 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.

Step 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).

Step 9 - ⌛ 1 min.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Prepare 500 g quiche filling mixture.

Step 10 - ⌛ 1 min.

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

Step 11 - ⌛ 1 min.

Pour in the mixture.

Step 12 - ⌛ 1 min.

Put slices of cheese on top.

Step 13 - ⌛ 30 min.

Put in the oven for about 30 minutes.

Step 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.
