Preparation

Step 1

On lightly floured work surface, roll pie crust into an 11-inch circle. Arrange crust in 9-inch glass pie pan & refrigerate until ready to use.

Place leek & shallot in the Single Serve Cup & pulse the Single Serve button to chop. Remove the blades from the cup after blending and set aside.

In a nonstick saute´ pan, saute´ prosciutto over medium-high heat until browned. Add oil to the pan, reduce heat to medium, add chopped vegetables & cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in tarragon.

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Place eggs, milk, cream, salt & pepper in the Pitcher & blend on 2 until smooth.

Place pie crust on edged baking pan. Spread mustard over bottom of crust, sprinkle with cheese, top with prosciutto & vegetables & pour egg mixture over top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until quiche is set in the center & lightly golden on top. Cool slightly before serving.
