Great idea, but I think quiche is overrated. Too much egg!
It was okay but kinda bland. Needs more seasoning or something.
Just okay. It didn’t come out very pretty, but it tasted decent.
Leeks are too fancy for me. I used onion instead and it was fine.
I’m not good at baking yet but this looks simple. I’ll try it!
This quiche is sooo good! My family loved it. Will make again!
Looks good but quiche is so overrated. My grandma would make it better with bacon instead of pork. Just sayin’!
So glad to hear your family enjoyed it! The creamy texture and flavors really come together, right? Definitely a keeper recipe!
I messed up and forgot the cheese 😭 it still worked out okay but no Gruyere is a fail.
Yummy! Super easy too! I didn’t even need the pie crust, just baked it in a dish. 😄
But… isn’t the crust part of what makes a quiche a quiche? Going crustless seems weird to me. 🤔
That’s a great idea skipping the crust! I love how versatile quiches can be. 😂
Absolutely delicious! Made it for a brunch and everyone asked for the recipe.
Pork and leeks? Sounds weird. Why not just use bacon? 🤔
Bacon is awesome, but have you ever tried leeks? They’re delicious! You should give it a shot. 😋
