Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cold water until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roll Out the Dough

    After chilling, roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the rolled dough in the dish and trim any excess.

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Leeks

    In a skillet, sauté the sliced leeks in a bit of butter or oil until soft and translucent. Set aside to cool.

  2. 4

    Mix the Filling

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the diced ham, cooked leeks, and grated Emmental cheese.

Baking

  1. 5

    Assemble the Quiche

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the filling mixture into the prepared pie crust.

  2. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the quiche is set and lightly golden on top. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
