Our Disclaimer (The serious stuff)

By using our free meal planner (and the rest of spoonacular.com) you have to agree that you and only you are responsible for anything that happens to you because of something you have read on this site or have bought/cooked/eaten because of this site. After all, the only person who controls what you put in your mouth is you, right?

Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research. If you need help planning your diet or determining which foods (and recipes) are safe for you, contact a registered dietitian, allergist, or another medical professional.

Spoonacular is not responsible for any adverse effects or damages that occur because of your use of the website or any information it provides (e.g. after cooking/consuming a recipe on spoonacular.com or on any of the sites we link to, after reading information from articles or shared via social media, etc.)

Quiche on the menu? Try pairing with Sparkling Wine, Champagne, and Bordeaux. Even if you aren't making mimosas, sparkling wine is great with eggs for two reasons. One, if you're eating eggs early in the day, sparkling wine has less alcohol. Secondly, it cleanses the palate, which is important since yolk is known to coat the palate. One wine you could try is Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato. It has 4.9 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 15 dollars.

Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato

Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato is sweet & juicy with explosive aromas and flavors. Best served chilled (36-40 degrees F), this bubbly has aromas and flavors of jasmine and Mandarin orange complemented by red raspberry, strawberry and pomegranate. Enjoy the creamy and juicy finish!

Instructions

  1. Make crust in a food processor. Place flour and salt in work bowl. Add butter pieces and sour cream. Pulse to combine. With machine running, drizzle in ice water until a ball forms. Flour a work surface and roll out into a 12 inch round. Quickly foldinto quarters and gently lay in an 11 inch shallow, tin fluted tart pan; press into pan. Place in freezer 15 minutes (can be left frozen for up to a month). Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a layer of foil on top of crust and fill with dried beans. Prebake 15 minutes to 18 minutes, until just pale golden. Red
  2. Place leeks and 1/4 cup water in a large skillet. Heat over medium-high heat and cook a few minutes to sweat (not brown them) until water evaporates and leeks are tender. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine milk, cream, eggs and seasoning. Beat with a whisk to combine. Add cheese. Place cooked leeks into prebaked shell and gently pour in custard. Immediately place in oven and bake 20 minutes to 25 minutes until puffed, brown and set. Cool 10 minutes and serve hot, or cool to room temperature.
