Ham and Leek Quiche

Ham and Leek Quiche is another of these simple recipes that even I can do.  The soft leeks and tasty ham combine to make this a lovely dish. Serve this on a salad for a superb summery meal. Also the children love these recipes. I make a few different flavours for the family and they all get devoured quickly. Especially when I take them on picnics. You can use left over ham for this recipe to avoid any waste. Don’t forget to try our other quiche recipes such as Egg and Bacon or Asparagus and tomato.
