- 1 9-inch pastry crust (Store bought or make your own)
- 2 large leeks, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced (Or sub with 3 medium)

- 1 pinch cayenne
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 1 cup ham, diced
- 1 cup Gruyere (Or sub with Swiss)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- Sauté leeks in 2 tbs butter until they begin to soften and caramelize. Set aside to let cool.
- Whisk together eggs, cream, cayenne, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
- Once leeks have cooled, scatter them in the bottom of the crust. Sprinkle in ham and shredded cheese as well. Then pour over the egg mixture.
