Step 2
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Remove crust and set aside to cool slightly; reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees (190 degrees C).
Step 3
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and simmer leeks just until tender, about 7 minutes; drain thoroughly.
Step 4
Whisk eggs, heavy cream, milk, chives, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Spread leeks evenly over bottom of pie crust; dot with goat cheese. Pour egg mixture over leeks.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until puffed, lightly browned, and a sharp knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove to cool until warm or room temperature before serving.

I have a B&B and made this because I had goat cheese on hand. I added bacon. Everyone loved this quiche!

This was a really good quiche. Easy to make and the flavors worked well together. I'm not sure if I could really notice the nutmeg but I put it in there anyway. Make sure you measure everything accurately. My filling was almost over the crust but it settled nicely after the bake.

Really Good. I did add 4 strips of crisp crumbled bacon and subbed 1 cup fat free half and half for the cream and milk. Baking time was much less - 30 minutes. Covered edge of crust. I didn't expect it to turn out as good as it did.

I love the recipe but my crust was almost burnt after baking the filling. Next time I will prebake the crust for less time.
