Place eggs, milk and ricotta in a large bowl, whisking until well combined. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Arrange peas, leek mixture and grated cheese over pastry base. Pour egg mixture into pastry case, then bake quiche for 30–35 minutes or until pastry is golden and filling puffed and set. Cool for 5 minutes, cut into wedges and serve.
