As you can tell, I have a surplus of leeks! Not that I’m complaining, I mean… I LOVE LEEKS. This recipe included the spinach from your recent CSA box as well as those leeks (of course). In order to make the quiche, we needed cheese. The fresh rosemary garlic sheep cheese from Black Sheep Creamery was a perfect match for this little dish. Who says real men don’t eat quiche?
