LEEK QUICHE
We often have potluck breakfasts at my school. I came up with this leek quiche recipe so I could bring something different and filling to share. You can make it in the large pie version or in little tartlets. And if you want to make it vegetarian, just eliminate the sausage. —Kathryn Dampier, Quail Valley, California

Steps:
- Unroll crust into a 9-in. pie plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°., Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a lower oven rack until edges are golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven setting to 325°., In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add leeks and mushrooms; cook and stir until tender, 3-5 minutes. Add sausage and garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese over crust. Top with sausage mixture and tomatoes. Whisk eggs, cream, sour cream, thyme, salt and pepper; pour over top. Sprinkle with remaining cheese., Bake until a knife inserted in center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. If desired, top with additional fresh thyme.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat and fry the onion for 5 mins. Add the garlic and cook for 5 mins more until the onion is soft but not golden. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the asparagus for 3 mins. Drain, then plunge into a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain again. Set eight spears aside, then chop the rest into 3cm lengths.
- For the pastry, combine the flour and cheese in a bowl, then rub in the butter using your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add 1 tbsp cold water at a time until the mixture comes together into a dough - you may need 3-6 tbsp water. Wrap and chill in the freezer for 5 mins to firm up slightly.
- Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured surface until it's large enough to line a deep 23cm flan tin with a slight overlap. Using the rolling pin to help you, unravel the pastry over the tin and gently push the pastry into the edge. Trim the overhanging pastry so it comes up 2cm past the rim of the tin. Gently prick the pastry base all over using a fork, then return to the freezer to chill for 15 mins. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
- Scrunch up a square of baking parchment, then use it to line the chilled pastry case. Fill with baking beans and bake for 15 mins. Remove the baking beans and parchment and bake for 5 mins more. Leave to cool. Meanwhile, combine the cream, crème fraîche, yogurt and eggs in a bowl, but don't stir too hard - avoid creating bubbles. Stir in the fried onion mixture, the pepper and paprika, then fold in the dill, most of the feta and the cooked asparagus.
- Put the pastry case on a baking tray. Pour in the filling, ensuring the feta and chopped asparagus are evenly distributed, then add the whole asparagus spears and remaining feta.
- Put in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Bake for 35-40 mins until set with a slight wobble in the middle. Leave to cool before slicing.

Steps:
- To make the pastry, tip the flour and butter into a bowl, then rub together with your fingertips until completely mixed and crumbly. Add 8 tbsp cold water, then bring everything together with your hands until just combined. Roll into a ball and use straight away or chill for up to 2 days. The pastry can also be frozen for up to a month.
- Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a round about 5cm larger than a 25cm tin. Use your rolling pin to lift it up, then drape over the tart case so there is an overhang of pastry on the sides. Using a small ball of pastry scraps, push the pastry into the corners of the tin (see picture, above left). Chill in the fridge or freezer for 20 mins. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
- While the pastry is chilling, heat the butter in a pan and cook the leeks for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until they soften. Then turn up the heat and add the mushrooms. Cook for 5 mins more, then turn off the heat.
- Lightly prick the base of the tart with a fork, line the tart case with a large circle of greaseproof paper or foil, then fill with baking beans. Blind-bake the tart for 20 mins, remove the paper and beans, then continue to cook for 5-10 mins until biscuit brown
- While the tart case cooks, beat the eggs in a bowl, then gradually add the cream. Stir in the leeks, mushrooms and half the cheese. Season, then tip the filling into the tart case. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese, then bake for 20-25 mins until set and golden brown. Leave to cool in the case, trim the edges of the pastry, then remove and serve in slices.
