Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ cup milk
• 3 eggs
• ½ cup heavy whipping cream
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 1 (9 inch) frozen single pie crust, thawed
• 3 leeks - white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise, and sliced
• 2 ounces soft goat cheese, crumbled

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prick pie crust all over with a fork; place on a baking sheet.

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Remove crust and set aside to cool slightly; reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees (190 degrees C).

Step 3

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and simmer leeks just until tender, about 7 minutes; drain thoroughly.

Step 4

Whisk eggs, heavy cream, milk, chives, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Spread leeks evenly over bottom of pie crust; dot with goat cheese. Pour egg mixture over leeks.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until puffed, lightly browned, and a sharp knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove to cool until warm or room temperature before serving.
