In a skillet cook sliced leek or onion in hot margarine or butter until tender but not brown. Remove from heat. Stir in artichoke hearts, the 1 cup Parmesan cheese, roasted red peppers, mayonnaise, and black pepper.
Transfer mixture to an 8-inch quiche dish or 9-inch pie plate, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with parsley and the 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese.

This sounds very good! When you say hot, how quickly do you serve it up after taking it out of the oven? Cause I noticed you said it won't set up with fat free mayo, so I am thinking there is a time delay after taking it out of the oven so it sets up?
Thanks!

I serve this within a few minutes of taking out of the oven. I'm thinking with the fat-free it just won't thicken while baking. There may be more water content in the fat-free mayo.
