How to Make Artichoke Leek And Ham Quiche Filling
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Drain one (14 ounce) can of artichoke hearts, reserving 1/4 cup of the marinade.
- Finely chop the artichoke hearts (about 1 1/2 cups) and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat half (about 2 tablespoons) of the reserved marinade over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 cup thinly sliced leeks to the skillet.
- Sauté until leeks are tender and the marinade has reduced and thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the chopped artichoke hearts, stir to combine, remove from heat, and let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup grated Gruyère cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup diced cooked ham (about 4 ounces), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Stir in the cooled artichoke and leek mixture.
- Pour the filling into a prepared 9-inch quiche crust (#200939).
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving warm or at room temperature.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
