Notes

Storage: Refrigerate your quiche in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Remove water from leek:  Ensure you remove the water before adding the leek to the crust. Otherwise, your quiche may become watery.
Add different vegetables or ingredients: Feel free to replace any ingredient you're not a fan of. Leftover salmon, broccolini, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and spinach work too!
