Instructions
  1. Thaw puff pastry according to package directions.
  2. Preheat oven to 375⁰F (190⁰C).
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and cook until they are wilted, about 5-7 minutes, then reserve.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together cream, eggs, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, or between two layers of plastic wrap or parchment paper, roll out the thawed puff pastry to a thickness of about 1/4 inch (5 mm). Line a shallow 9” (23 cm) pie plate and press the pastry up the sides to make a nice edge.
  6. Distribute leeks evenly across the bottom of the dish. Pour the cream mixture over leeks. Top the quiche with feta.
  7. Bake 30-40 minutes until the center is firm and the crust and top are nicely browned.
