Ingredients
- One packet ready-rolled shortcrust pastry (375g) - or make your own.
- 90g grated gruyere cheese
- 2 leeks, thinly sliced
- 200g baby spinach leaves
- 30g butter
- 2 eggs
- 300ml milk (or 150ml milk and 150ml cream)
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Preheat oven to 220 degrees (200 degrees if fan assisted).
- Roll out the pastry and line a 28cm flan tin. Blind bake (see pastry post) for 20 minutes, removing the foil and beans for the last 10 minutes.
- Melt the butter in a large frying pan. Fry the leeks over a high heat, stirring so that they don't burn, until golden brown.
- Add the spinach and cook for 2 minutes until it wilts.
- Beat the eggs, then mix with the milk (and cream, if using) and cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the leek and spinach filling into the pastry case. Pour in the cheese mixture evenly.
- Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve with salad, and rice or potatoes if you wish.
