Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 50 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes

with pumpkin or sweet potato

Mix the egg and butter together with the flour, a pinch each of salt, nutmeg, paprika, and spices to form a dough. Wrap in foil and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, wash the leeks and slice them (the white part about 0.5 cm, the green part about 1 cm thick). Briefly fry them in a pan with a little oil. Cut the pumpkin (or sweet potato) into small cubes and add to the leeks for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat, add 200 ml of milk and 4 eggs, season generously with pepper, salt, curry powder, and fresh or dried thyme, and mix everything well. Roll out the chilled dough and line the bottom of a 28 cm springform pan or quiche dish, forming a rim. Pour in the filling, mix carefully again, and place the dish in the cold oven. Set the oven to 170 degrees Celsius and bake the quiche for 40-50 minutes, covering it with aluminum foil towards the end if necessary to prevent it from overcooking. Immediately after baking, place a few thyme sprigs on the still-hot quiche to adhere to the surface.
