Leek & Goat Cheese Pie

Makes 8 Servings

Ingredients:

2 Tbs. unsalted butter

1 Tbs. olive oil

2 large leeks (white and light-green parts only), sliced thin

Kosher salt

6 large eggs

2 T heavy whipping cream

Freshly ground black pepper

1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme (I used a combination of dry and fresh thyme)

3 oz. goat cheese, crumbled (can use feta cheese as well)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. After slicing the leeks, clean leeks by soaking in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes, drain. Set aside.

3. Heat 2 Tbs. of the butter and 1 Tbs. of the olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, add the leeks and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until the leeks are tender and lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Set aside and let cool briefly.

4. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream with 1 tsp. salt and several grinds of pepper. Add the leeks, thyme, and goat cheese and gently stir to combine.

5. Prepare pie plate by spraying with olive oil or wiping with a pat of butter.

6. Pour egg mixture into prepared pie plate. Place in the oven and bake 15-20 minutes until center is just set. Let sit a couple minutes before serving.

7. Cut into wedges and serve warm or room temperature. Store leftovers in the refrigerator. This reheats very well.

Enjoy!
