Who knew a mushrooms leek quiche would be so delicious? Perfect dish fo Christmas!<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Want to know what my days look like these days? Ginger, lemon, paracetamol (a couple of pills only), ginger, lemon, hot tea, ginger, lemon, fresh-squeezed orange juice. Yup, as soon as the temperatures dropped, I caught a cold. So each morning now starts with a ginger shot<\/strong> (recipe by @alphafoodie<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, you can find it on her story highlights) and a ton of kleenex<\/em>.
\nBut this does not prevent me from testing recipes in these last few days: look at this savory mushrooms leek soup, isn't it perfect? I wish you could have a taste!<\/p>\n

\"Easy

A few high quality ingredients needed for this amazing quiche with leek and mushroom!<\/p><\/div>\n

A super tasty mushrooms leek quiche<\/h2>\n

When I took the first bite it was an explosion of flavors, an assault on the senses: the leek was perfectly \"integrated\" with the mushrooms, and the mushrooms were just right soft but not mushy. Plus, since I've used ricotta and milk instead of cream, the filling was not heavy at all!
\nHeavy cream usually gives a lot of creaminess, but I love using ricotta instead, to keep it more healthy-ish and light but still nutritious.
\nMany quiche recipes call for many eggs (4\/5\/6 eggs), it clearly depends on the size and depth of your mold, but I found that 3 was the perfect quantity (I didn't want them to prevail).<\/p>\n

The healthy version of quiche: use ricotta instead of heavy cream!<\/p><\/div>\n

Regarding the crust: I really wanted to try this recipe<\/strong> <\/a>I found on Sister Mag\u00a0<\/em>a while ago, but you can use your favorite (or buy it, but come on it's easy to make it from scratch). This time I wanted a classic crust, something buttery, and I must say Rachel's recipe satisfied my \"request\".<\/p>\n

\"Easy

You can cut as many pieces as you want: 6, 8...2? Up to you!<\/p><\/div>\n

A note: its' not a quick recipe. This is the second quiche I share here on the blog, and like I mentioned last time (here)<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0you first have to blind bake the crust and then bake the filling. So yeah, it takes time (around one hour and 15 minutes), but trust me it's definitely worth it.<\/p>\n

If you decide to make this for Christmas, give it a try a few days before so you'll be sure you like it!<\/p>\n

\"There's

Mushrooms + leek: get ready for the assault on the senses!<\/p><\/div>\n
