Sage, leek and onion quiche

One of my favorite things to make and our favorite to eat any time of the year is a quiche. Since my herb garden is doing so well this year, I am coming up with more ways to use all the sage I have growing. So I whipped up a basic onion quiche made more special with fresh sage...

Sage, leek and onion quiche
frozen puff pastry
1 leek, sliced
2 onions, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
grated cheese of choice (I use aged Gouda cheese)
1 egg
milk or half and half
salt and pepper
thyme

Thaw the pastry and roll out to fit into your quiche dish. *I am using a small quiche dish for 2 people. You will need to double everything for a larger quiche.*
Clean and slice leek and chop onion. Fry in a pan adding the fresh sage and (dried) thyme for the last minute. Place the onion and leek mix in the pastry shell.
Sprinkle grated cheese.

In a large measuring bowl, break an egg and add enough half and half to bring the amount up to 3/4 cup total. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour over the quiche.

Bake in a 180C/350F oven for about 35 minutes. If you use a large quiche dish, the baking will take about 45 to 50 minutes.

Note: I will increase the sage to 2 tablespoons next time as we really love the sage and felt there could be more in the quiche.

I like to serve quiche with a salad or sliced tomatoes.

My herb garden.....

The sage is doing particularly well and has lovely large leaves.

Bon appetit or eet smakelijk!
