• Brie, Leek and Pumpkin Quiche

    I made this last night, I got the idea from an old Goodtaste Mag but I left out the pastry!

    Took me a couple of mouthfuls to adjust (never had Brie before) but after that it was good though I still might experiment a little more. I had to make something else for Ryan though, he was not keen on the Brie LOL



    Brie, Leek and Pumpkin Quiche

    2 Leeks, pale part only
    200g pumpkin, peeled
    250g Double Brie
    300ml carton of pure or double cream (basically you want a cream that has between 45-60% fat and no thickeners added!)
    4 eggs
    butter
    olive oil
    1 Tbl Mustard powder

    Preheat oven to 180C

    Cut leeks in half lengthways and give a good wash then slice thinly. Fry in a pan with some butter and olive oil untill soft. Put in a buttered quiche dish.

    Cube pumpkin in 1 cm cubes and fry in pan with some butter and olive oil until brown then add the mustard and fry for another 2 minutes. Place on top of leek in quiche dish.

    Whisk up eggs and cream then season with a little salt. Pout over leeks and pumpkin.

    Slice Brie lengthways then place over egg mixture in a nice pattern and chuck in over for around 25-30mins until top is golden.

    I've never counted carbs, Sherrie, so it will be an interesting exercise to see if I'm anywhere near this amount.

    Regina has a great chart on what your minimum protein should be, this would be a good place to start:

    Protein Is Essential, But Too Much
