Quiche Poireau, or Leek Quiche, is a savory dish originating from French cuisine. Made with a buttery, flaky pastry crust, it is filled with a creamy mixture of eggs, milk or cream, and sautéed leeks. Some variations may include cheese for added richness or seasonings like nutmeg for depth of flavor. Leeks, the star ingredient, are low in calories and rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber, making them a nutritious addition to this dish. While Quiche Poireau can be a protein-rich meal thanks to the eggs, its high fat content due to cream and buttery pastry makes it an indulgent option. When prepared with a lighter crust and milk instead of cream, it can become a more balanced choice. Typically served warm, this quiche can be paired with a fresh salad for a complete, wholesome meal.
