Leek and Cheese Pie

Going back to my Irish heritage this Leek and Cheese Pie is one of my favorite breakfasts. I also enjoy it as lunch often.

This Leek and Cheese Pie or Quiche is pretty easy to put together and with very few special ingredients it is super budget friendly. I make this about once a week and it feeds both my husband and myself for a few days.

Eating this with a side of bacon or sausage and yes you could even throw those into the mix when baking makes it filling as well as fast. I’ve frozen this and reheated it without an issue.

The crust is awesome and you can use the THM Baking Blend or your favorite Baking Mix (you may have to adjust the fluids if using a homemade mix)

 I baked this in a glass pie plate like this one
.  I’ve had it for many years and love it.

Just remember that when using glass bake ware you need to bake at a lower temperature than if using metal pans.
