- Once cooked, cut into slices and serve with salad on the side and your favourite sauce, chutney or other condiment.
Cooking tips:
• You can also cook this quiche with a pastry crust – blind bake the pastry before adding the egg mixture to make sure the pastry is crisp and cooked all the way through.
Adapt it:
• Use extra onion instead of the leek if you like.
• You can replace frozen spinach with frozen corn.
Kid-friendly alternatives:
• Add minimal added salt.
Leftovers:
• Can be frozen or eaten for lunch the next day.
