Preparation
Step 1
2 thin leeks – 125 g diced bacon – 2 tbsp Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce
Slice the leeks into rings. Fry the diced bacon in a non-stick pan. Add the leek and sauté for about 10 minutes. Season with the Kikkoman Soy Sauce.
Step 2
75 g cold butter – 150 g plain flour – 1 tbsp Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce – Butter for greasing the tin – Alternatively: ready-made quiche or tart cases
Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a quiche or tart tin (Ø approx. 30 cm). For the pastry, mix all the ingredients with approx. 4 tbsp cold water to form a smooth dough. Roll out between sheets of cling film into a circle, slightly larger than the baking tin, then line the tin with the pastry and prick the base several times with a fork.
Step 3
4 eggs – 200 g cream – 4 tbsp Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce – 150 g grated cheese (e.g. Gouda, Emmental) – ¾ tsp dried thyme – Freshly ground pepper – Grated nutmeg
For the filling, whisk the eggs with the cream and Kikkoman Soy Sauce. Stir in the cheese and thyme and season with the pepper and nutmeg. Spread the leek and bacon mixture over the pastry, pour over the egg mixture and bake in a preheated oven for 25-35 minutes until golden brown.
Step 4
2 tbsp sesame seeds – 2 tbsp Kikkoman Toasted Sesame Oil – 2 tbsp Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce
Roast the sesame seeds in a small non-stick pan until golden brown. Stir in the Kikkoman Sesame Oil and Kikkoman Soy Sauce. Cut the quiche into slices, drizzle with the sesame oil mixture and serve.
Tip:
If you're short on time, simply use a ready-made tart or quiche pastry from the supermarket's chilled section. The quiche also tastes great with broccoli, colourful peppers, peas or edamame instead of leek. Smoked salmon is a delicious alternative to bacon. For extra crunch, top the quiche with sunflower or hemp seeds.
