Ingredients

Prepared pie crust (or homemade if you prefer) 1

large leeks, white and light green parts only, cleaned and thinly sliced 3

Large Eggs 4

Cream or whole milk 1 Cup

Shredded cheese (we love a blend of Gouda and Feta for an extra Israeli touch) 1 Cup

Garlic, minced 2 Cloves

Extra virgin olive oil 2 Tbsp

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh Thyme leaves 1 Tsp

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Sauté the leeks and garlic in olive oil over medium heat until they soften and become fragrant. Add a sprinkle of salt to help draw out their moisture.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream or milk, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir in the sautéed leeks, garlic, and the shredded cheese blend.

Step 3

Pour the leek and egg mixture into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 4

Bake the Pashtida for 30-35 minutes, until it sets and the top turns a beautiful golden brown.

Step 5

Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Your homemade Israeli Leek Pashtida is ready to be savored! Our Leek Pashtida is creamy, flavorful, and has a beautifully crisp crust. The added za'atar gives it an unmistakably Israeli flavor profile that you're sure to love. So, whether for a Shabbat meal or a weekday dinner, this dish is a perfect choice. Beteavon!
