Leek Quiche

Leek Quiche 

The best leek dish....   







When I first tried this recipe, ours are no longer eating any other leek dish and I recommend you to make this recipe persistently.  I am sure it will be your favourite just like my favourite.







Leek and carrot are compatible vegetables for making a delicate food. You may flavour your pie adding other vegetables, cheese, kashar, heavy cream and spices... 
They make it more flavoured with crispy pastry.




It may be a lunch, a dinner, or a snack food but I'm sure you'll like and try it time after time....
