Gather the dough into a ball and literally knead it two or three times, and then roll it into a layer and line the baking dish with it. Prick the prepared dough in several places with a fork, cover with film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
While the dough is cooling, wash the broccoli well and separate it into florets. Cut the leeks in half lengthwise, wash well and cut into half rings. Peel the carrots and chop finely. If you don’t have sausages, you can use any minced meat.
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, add chopped leeks and simmer over medium heat until soft. Squeeze small pieces of minced meat from the sausages into the frying pan, then add the carrots, stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Next, add broccoli to the ingredients in the pan, add salt and pepper, stir and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Remove the pan with the dough from the refrigerator, place the prepared filling into the dough and smooth it out. Mix sour cream with milk and eggs, pour this mixture over the pie. Grate the cheese on a fine grater and distribute evenly over the surface of the filling.
Bake the quiche in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 30 minutes. The quiche can be served warm or cold, cut into portions.
