charlys-room: Delicious Mushroom & Leek Quiche

I love quiches.

They are so good and easy to make, and are a perfect meal with a salad and some fruit.

I like this recipe because it makes 2 quiches...which gives enough for two meals, or an extra for the freezer or to share.

And if you want to make it super quick... buy the pastry shells at the grocery store and then just chop the veggies and shred the cheese.

I love this recipe....the leeks and the swiss cheese make it so declicious!

2 pie shells, purchased or homemade

And you know another I like about quiche? It can be breakfast, or brunch, or lunch or dinner!

This is also a great make ahead dish that can be re-heated when needed.
