Butternut Squash Ham & Leek Quiche Recipe | Club Foody

 

We have friends from all over the country and in the states plus our families live in different provinces. When they come over to visit and stay with us, I like to be well-prepared. Of course, the house is “spick and span” 🧼🧹 and I also plan most of the menus.
 
One of the most important meals I like to make ahead is breakfast. After a night of laughter and a few drinks 🍷🥃, I don’t really feel to make anything the next morning. A pot of coffee ☕, a couple aspirins and I’m good to go. Now with company over, this is not a way to be a good hostess…
 
I like to rely on my “pre-made” recipes like Zucchini Bread 🥒🍞, a nice Breakfast Casserole, Homemade Pancake Mix, Torta Pasqualina • Easter Pie, Pumpkin Chai Bread, Pancetta Vegetable Frittata, Homemade Granola, a pot of Old-Fashioned Baked Beans with Bacon, etc.
 
Another kind of food item I depend on is quiche. Besides my Quiche Lorraine, here’s another one… Butternut Squash Ham & Leek Quiche! Easy to make, this dish has so much flavor! With vegetables, ham, seasonings and cheese, this is a delicious way to start the day 🌞!
 
Winter squash is lovely and I love cooking with any of them. When it comes to the butternut variety, I make soups, use it to stuff homemade ravioli, make a nice curry dish 🍲 with it, and so on. It might look intimidating to prep but, in fact it’s easy. Click here to see how… How to Peel Butternut Squash • 2 Easy Ways
 
Leeks are another favorite of mine! I like using them in lieu of onions 🧅 or shallots. With their subtle taste, they’re perfect for casseroles, soups, stews or when I make this Butternut Squash Ham & Leek Quiche. Prepping them is uncomplicated and here’s the link for it… How to Trim, Cut & Clean Leeks
 
If it’s made the same morning you’ll be serving it, simply follow the directions. It’s slightly different when making it ahead. After the mixture is poured in the pie crust and leveled, wrap the quiche and transfer to the fridge until ready to cook. When it’s time to bake, remove the wrap, bring it to room temperature (about 30 minutes), cover the edges with a pie crust shield and proceed accordingly.
 
Quiche’s are one of the most convenient and versatile dishes! They’re perfect to enjoy for breakfast or brunch, also ideal for lunch and dinner with a nice green salad 🥗 on the side like a tasty Seafood Quiche… it all depends on the filling. There are so many flavorful recipes like Mushroom Quiche, Chicken Niçoise Quiche, Spinach & Tomato Quiche, and many others.
 
To me, Butternut Squash Ham & Leek Quiche fits perfect for Thanksgiving 🦃 and the Holidays 🎄! It has all the ingredients that fall and winter offers us. Serve this healthy and mouthwatering dish next time you have guests staying over. Everyone will love it including you!
Bon Appétit!🍽
