Leek Tart Recipe
No Reviews
Discover the recipe for a leek tart, the best way I have found to get my son and those who are resistant to eat leeks. This chef's leek quiche is a staple of gastronomy that will appeal to lovers of subtle flavors. This dish combines the softness of leeks with the creaminess of cream and cheese, all wrapped in a crunchy pastry. Easy to prepare, this dish is ideal for a family meal or with friends, bringing freshness and lightness to this generous savory tart.
Ingredients
1 Leek
1 Milk
Salt
Pepper
Nutmeg
Directions
1
Clean the leeks, keeping only the white parts, which you will cut into pieces of 2 or 3 cm. Blanch them for 5 minutes in salted boiling water. Drain them carefully.
2
Roll out the shortcrust pastry and line a greased tart pan with it. Pour dried beans on top and bake in a hot oven for 12 minutes. Let it cool and remove the beans.
3
Melt 40 g of butter in a pan where you will sauté the leeks. Sprinkle them with 30 g of flour and mix for 2 minutes over low heat. Then add boiling milk, add cream, 75 g of grated cheese, and let cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon. Add salt, pepper, and a little nutmeg.
4
Finally, fill the tart base with this mixture and sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese. Bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes at 190°C. Serve hot.

Perfect!! A real treat, my partner and I were delighted. It wasn't quite cooked enough, a bit too runny still, but really delicious. I would make it again!! ? -

Excellent I followed the recipe exactly without adding any bacon. It was excellent. A bit too much leeks. My suggestion: A little less leeks, or a much larger tart pan! -

Super excellent!!!! We just ate this leek pie, and we loved it. I added bacon, and honestly, even the kids who usually have trouble eating leeks finished everything. Thank you very much for this wonderful recipe!!!!!!!! -

It's like at my place, you know! I make a pretty similar recipe. It's delicious, and the sweetness of the leek is appreciated by everyone. It feels like someone stole my recipe... PIRATE! My suggestion: With some bacon cooked in the pan to brown and render the fat, it's even better. I serve this tart with a green salad. -

Really excellent! I added my personal touch: a bit of bacon and some grated cheese!
