Leek And Goat Cheese Quiche

---

The recipe is from america’s test kitchen, with some minor modifications made by me (highlighted in italics). Goat cheese should be fairly easy to find in any decent supermarket. I found the best value for it at a warehouse club, where they were charging less for a pound of it than a normal grocery store charged for half the amount. Make sure to wash leeks thoroughly, as they can be gritty.
