Leek "Quiche" (Lauchkuchen)

I love leek and so does the rest of the family. This quiche (for lack of better words it really is not a quiche more like a savory pie) is easy, and delicious.

Here is what you need

Dough

2 Cups Flour

2 Tbls Olive Oil

3/4 Cup of lukewarm water

1/4 Teaspoon Yeast

Mix all ingredients together until you have a smooth dough.

Cover dough with plastic wrap and let raise at a warm spot (I usually make the dough in the morning)

Filling

4 or more thick stalks of leek cut into chunks (I use the entire leek)

1/2 Bouillon cube (I like Rapunzel brand Vegetable Broth)

3/4 Cup of Tofutti Sour Cream

2 Eggs

Salt, pepper, paprika

Optional add-ons

- Speck cut up in small cubes, and/or

- Emmenthaler Cheese

• Put a little oil in a pan and heat it up.
• Add leek and cover until soft
• Dissolve bouillon cube in a little bit of water and add to leek
• Uncover pan with leek, put heat on low, and let water evaporate. This should take about 1o minutes
• Put leek in a bowl, let it cool off a little and mix with Tofutti Sour Cream
• Add the two eggs
• If using add Emmenthaler and/or Speck
• Season with pepper, paprika and salt

Preheat oven to about 400 F (200 C)

• Roll out the dough on put it firmly into a Springform Baking Pan
• Pour the leek mixture on top of the dough and fold excess dough over the leek mixture (or you can also roll it up, etc.)
• Bake Quiche/Pie/Kuchen for 30 - 40 Minutes

I usually serve it with either a salad, or sauteed greens. Let me know if you try this :)
