Directions

5. Spread the sautéed leeks and garlic evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture over the leeks.
6. Sprinkle the shredded Gruyere cheese over the top of the quiche.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
8. Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
