Quiche aux Poireaux

Nestlé’s selected quiche aux poireaux combines leeks, eggs and cream inside a shortcrust pastry shell, with grated Comté on top. Its version uses MAGGI KUB OR Bio bouillon cubes to season the leek filling.

The leeks are sliced and briefly sautéed before the bouillon cubes and measured water enter the pan. Reduction concentrates the mixture before it becomes part of the filling.

Eggs and liquid cream are mixed with the cooked leeks. This combination fills the pastry shell, keeping the vegetable filling beneath the cheese topping.

Grated Comté covers the filled tart before oven baking. The cheese and cream give the selected quiche its creamy character, while leeks remain the main vegetable.

The manufacturer presents this recipe as a French starter. It uses an already prepared shortcrust pastry, keeping the shell distinct from the egg-and-leek filling assembled inside it.
