Let's Get Started
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch (23 cm) quiche dish or pie pan. Trim any excess crust.
- In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced parsnips and leeks, and sauté until they are tender and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated cheddar cheese, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the sautéed parsnips and leeks evenly over the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables.
- Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy the delicious parsnip and leek quiche!
