Fairly quick and cheap to make, there’s enough for 6!
Ingredients
1kg leeks, washed and chopped into inch long pieces
2 free range eggs
100g of extra mature cheddar cheese, grated
150ml single cream
Freshly ground black pepper
Pastry, puff, shortcrust, whatever you like. Make your own or buy the ready rolled stuff.
Method
Bring a large pan of water to the boil and add the leeks to it, simmer for around 10 minutes until the leeks are just cooked.
In a large bowl add the eggs, cream, cheese and as much black pepper as you like, give it all a stir to mix in the eggs.
Pre-heat your oven to 180C.
Once the leeks are cooked, drain them in a colander and press them lightly to remove any excess water.
Add them to the eggy, cheesy, creamy mixture and give it all a stir.
Pour the mixture into a pie dish and cover with pastry, place in the oven for around 20 minutes.
