Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon Leek Quiche.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a spacious skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat, turning it occasionally until it reaches a delightful brown and crispy texture, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Once perfectly cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease, then crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
In the same skillet, let the sliced leeks sauté in the flavorful bacon fat over medium heat until they soften, which will take around 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 5
Next, place your unbaked pie crust into a glass, deep-dish pie pan.
Step 6
Evenly distribute the sautéed leeks across the bottom of the crust, followed by a generous sprinkle of crumbled bacon.
Step 7
In a medium bowl, whisk together the half-and-half and eggs until they blend seamlessly.
Step 8
In a separate small bowl, combine the grated Cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and flour, tossing them together.
Step 9
Fold this cheesy mixture into the egg blend, stirring until fully incorporated.
Step 10
Pour this luscious mixture into the pie crust, layering it over the leeks and bacon.
Step 11
Top it off with thinly sliced tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 12
Bake your creation in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, signaling that it’s ready.
Step 13
Allow the quiche to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into it and serving.
Step 14
Enjoy the delightful blend of flavors that will surely impress your guests!.
