Method
- Preheat the fan oven to 180 °C.

- Beat the eggs with the mustard, nutmeg, onion powder, garlic powder and crème fraîche. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir the diced ham and fried leek into the egg mixture.
- Place the wrap in a greased quiche or tart tin (approx. 15 cm) and press down well. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the base of the wrap.
- Pour in the egg mixture and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes, until the quiche is firm and golden brown (take care that the cheese does not become too dark). If necessary, cover the quiche with aluminium foil after 15 minutes of baking.
