Chef’s note
Quiches are nutritious and sustaining when we set aside crust and bacon. These ingredients are rich in saturated fats and salt without leading us to satiety. With this healthy version of the leeks and apples quiche, we used nuts and cheese to contrast with the apple flavour. An interesting mix which gives good fats, fibres, proteins, vitamins and minerals.
