Leek, Onion, Brussels Sprouts Quiche/Pie image

I had enough pastry over one day to make an extra pie or quiche. I had things in the fridge that needed using up and simply threw them all togther in an experiment... it came out so well that now I make it regularly. You could also throw in a small amount of broccoli, or cauliflower, but the flavour of just the original ingredient is still the one that we like the most. The amount of sprouts is a "guesstimate" since 1-2 handfuls is enough, depending on the size of the sprouts)

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 quiche, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil)
1/2 cup vegetable stock (or chicken stock)
2 leeks, washed and chopped (use both the green and the white parts)
1 large onion (diced)
30 Brussels sprouts (peeled and cut into quarters)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 spring onion (sliced)
1 tablespoon herbes de provence
5 ounces Philadelphia Cream Cheese (Herbed)
1 cup cheese (grated)
1/2 cup cream (optional)
6 eggs (beaten)
salt
pepper
1 (30 cm) unbaked pie shells

Steps:

  • Combine the first 8 ingredients in a pan and saute gently until the onions and leeks begin to soften.
  • Take off the heat and let cool.
  • Cut your cream cheese into small blocks and stir well into the leek mixture.
  • Add the grated cheese, cream (if using), eggs, salt and pepper and mix well.
  • Scoop into an unbaked pie shell and cook for 40 minutes at 180 C (350 F).
  • I got one extra (smaller pie) simply by adding another leek, onion more sprouts to my main mixture. I can't get pie crusts ready made here so used 4Susan's Basic pastry recipe #148258 which makes one larger pie and one smaller one (as shown in my additional photographs).
