Ingredients

• 2 medium leeks
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 sheets premade pie crusts
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Thinly slice the leeks, discarding the dark green tops, and rinse thoroughly to remove any grit.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the sliced leeks. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the leeks are soft and lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the premade pie crusts and use a 3.5-inch round cutter to cut out 12 circles. Press each circle into the prepared muffin cups to form mini crusts.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.

Step 6

Evenly divide the sautéed leeks among the 12 crusts. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of grated Gruyere cheese into each cup.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the quiches are set and the tops are lightly golden.

Step 9

Allow the quiches to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully remove them and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Mini Leek Quiches!
