directions

  • Trim off root end of leeks. Cut off all but 1" of the dark green leaves and discard. Cut leeks in quarters lengthwise, then cut in 1 1/2" pieces. Put leeks in a large bowl of water to wash off grit. Change water and rinse again until clean. Drain and pat dry.
  • Melt butter in a skillet. When foam subsides and butter is just beginning to brown, add leeks. Season with salt and pepper, and saute 2 minutes until tender. Transfer to a sheet pan and refrigerate 10 minutes until cool.
  • Crack 8 eggs into a bowl and beat lightly. Add milk, cream and goat cheese, and whisk together. Add worcestershire and tabasco.
  • Grease a pie dish with butter. Place leeks in bottom of dish. Pour custard base over leeks. Place pie dish on a baking sheet. Place in preheated 400°F oven for 15 minutes.
  • Lay sliced brie over top of dish. Return to oven for another 10 minutes. Cool 3 minutes before slicing and serving.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
