Mushroom, Leek & Gruyère Cheese Quiche

OK... I don't do pastry dough ! I am hopeless and it's more simple to buy the pastry crust already prepared. Someday I will learn to make pastry dough.. .it's on my cooking wish list. This is a very delicious tasting quiche.. great for a nice light lunch.

Ingredients :

1 prepared pie crust

6 eggs

3 Tb butter

1 package Baby Portabella Mushrooms, sliced

1 leek, white part, cut in half and sliced, soak in water to remove any soil

2 green onion/scallions, sliced

1 cup Gruyere Cheese, plus 1/2 cup of cubed, 1/2 inch

1/2 cup cream

1 tsp minced garlic

How To :

Preheat over 350. Cook empty pie crust for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven.

In a pan, on high heat, add butter to pan, melt. Add sliced mushrooms, saute on high until mushrooms become golden.

In same pan, add sliced leeks, saute about 5-7 minutes. Add more butter if needed.
