Simo and Cicci recommend
You can store the leek quiche in the fridge for up to 2-3 days well-sealed in an airtight container. You can also freeze it for up to three months.
You can replace the cooked ham with speck, small mortadella, diced bacon, or smoked salmon slices. If you prefer a meatless version, simply omit any kind of cured meat.
You can use cheeses like smoked scamorza, emmental, gouda, or mozzarella for pizza.
Instead of grated Parmesan, you can use pecorino or cacioricotta.
Instead of cream, you can use milk, even lactose-free or plant-based.
You can also add herbs or spices you prefer like thyme, oregano, or marjoram.
You can replace puff pastry with shortcrust or savory pie crust even homemade.
