Steps

35 minutes at 400°F (200°C)

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), using both top and bottom heat if possible.
2

Wash and chop the white leek into small pieces. Sauté in a skillet with a little butter.
3

Once the leek pieces are lightly golden, add the bacon bits.
4

Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
5

Wash and cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
6

Place the round pie crust in a pie dish and prick several small holes in it with a fork.
7

In a bowl, whisk together the egg and half-and-half, then set aside.
8

Spread the cooked leek and bacon mixture evenly over the pie crust, then add the cherry tomatoes and shredded cheese.
Check if the oven has reached 400°F (200°C).
9

Carefully pour the egg and cream mixture over the quiche filling. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste, but go easy on the salt since the bacon and cheese are already salty.
10

If the oven is hot, bake the quiche for 35 minutes. While it bakes, clean up your workspace and put away the ingredients.
If not, wait until the oven is ready, cleaning and tidying up in the meantime.
11

Check the quiche regularly during the 35 minutes of baking.
Once done, use an oven mitt to remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into two equal pieces and serve on plates with a green salad on the side.
