Ingredients
Method
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a floured surface, then gently fit it into a 9-inch quiche dish or tart pan. Trim any excess and prick the base with a fork.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter or heat the olive oil. Sauté leeks and mushrooms until they soften and release their moisture, approximately 6-7 minutes.
- Add the diced chicken to the skillet and sprinkle in fresh thyme. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Spread the chicken, leek, and mushroom mixture evenly over the pastry base.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, grated cheese, salt, and pepper. Pour this custard mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the pastry.
- Slide the quiche into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set and the top has a golden hue.
- Allow the quiche to cool slightly before serving, enhancing its texture and flavor.
