I made this quiche last night with leftover cooked chicken but forgot to photograph it. However, above, you can see a slice I had for my lunch today – not as pretty as the whole quiche but just as delicious. This was born out me looking in the fridge and wondering what to make for dinner. I had the cooked chicken, a leek and we always have tomatoes, eggs and cheese so a chicken and leek quiche with tomato and cheese was created. It was a resounding success and a recipe I would make again.

Always a fan of quiche! Never had one made with chicken — sounds quite good. Thanks for the idea!
A quiche feels like a substantial meal and the possible fillings are endless.
Leftover quiche is the best!
Lovely to “see” you, Marta. I hope all is well in your world.
I often forget to photograph my food. I remember as I’m swallowing the last mouthful. I love how you made this just by looking at what you had in your fridge. I often make a leek and tomato quiche and serve it with a salad for a budget-friendly family meal xx
I know! And it was looking so beautiful but you don’t remember until a great hunk has been removed from it. My husband loves the budget-friendly meals from the leftovers.
