Leek and Cheese Quiche. this link is to an external site that may or may not meet accessibility guidelines. A few of my friends wanted to put my culinary skills to a test.

Steps to make Ham, Leek and Cheese Quiche:
- Heat the oven to 180c (fan). Using a loose-bottomed tart tin unroll the pastry out and squidge into the corners and up the sides. Line with baking paper and then fill with rice or dried beans to weigh it down. Cook in the oven for 15 minutes. This is called blind baking. Once done discard the paper and keep the beans/rice for next time.
- Finely slice the leeks and cut the bacon into chunks. Melt the butter in a large frying pan and gently fry the leeks for 10 minutes and set aside in a bowl.
- Next, fry the bacon until browned, add the leeks back in and add the tarragon. Cook for a few minutes and set aside.
- In a separate bowl crack the eggs, and gently beat. Add the double cream and cheese and make sure all mixed in.
- Spread the bacon and leek mix over the pastry base, pour over the cheesy egg mix, make sure evenly distributed. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, until golden.
