How to Make Grandma's Chicken Spinach Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean and thinly slice the leek, discarding the dark green parts.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the diced chicken and cook for another 3 minutes until heated through.
  4. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  5. Season the chicken and leek mixture with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  6. Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the pie crust.
  7. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the chicken mixture, followed by the shredded cheese.
  8. In a medium bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, brandy (or Frangelica), salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
  9. Gently pour the egg mixture over the cheese in the pie crust.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the quiche stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy hot or cold!
