Ingredients
- 8.8 oz leeks (including 3.5 oz for decoration)
- 1.4 tbsp butter
- 2 pinches fine salt
- 2 eggs
- 2.8 oz cream cheese
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1.3 cup milk
- 5.3 oz cooked ham (slices or chunk)
- 1 puff pastry (round of 8.1 oz)
- to taste juniper berries (for decoration)
- to taste pink peppercorns (for decoration)
Steps
Start by preparing the leeks. Wash them and remove the harder parts, cut them into rings. Set aside one leek with the greenest color for decorating the quiche.
In a pan, add the butter, melt it, and add the leeks. Season with salt and cook for about 20 minutes or until they are soft. Let them cool.
In a bowl, place the leeks, eggs, Parmesan cheese, and cream cheese, and mix well to combine the ingredients.
Now add the milk and the cooked ham cut into small cubes and mix again.
Cover a round baking pan with parchment paper, 10.24 inches in diameter, and pour in the leek and milk mixture. Roll up the edges of the puff pastry creating a pattern.
Decorate the surface with the remaining leek cut into thin slices.
Bake in the oven at 356°F for about 50 minutes. I decorated the surface with juniper berries and pink peppercorns, but only for aesthetics.
