Everyone in my house loves this Creamed Leek Tart – it is a delicious creamy treat that I make for Sunday lunch at least once a month. You can’t beat the slow sautéed leeks with a creamy eggy flavored filling.
Start by making pastry crust and chill the dough in the refrigerator for one hour. Blind bake the pastry in the oven with baking beans. Sauté leeks in butter slowly over low heat. Add flour, eggs, cheese and mustard. Once the pastry is blind baked, transfer the leek filling to the tart shell. Bake in the oven. Before slicing, rest the tart for 15-20 mins. Serve warm.
To make my Creamed Leek Tart, you will need the following ingredients:
Pulse 300 grams of plain flour and 140 grams of butter in a food processor. When the mixture resembles fine crumbs, add 1 egg yolk and 4 tablespoons of iced water. Pulse until it comes together as dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
Heat 85 grams of butter in a pan. Sauté leeks in the butter for 20-25 mins over low heat, until soft. Stir often.
Season the leeks to taste. Stir ½ a tablespoon of plain flour. Cook for 3-4 mins, stirring well. Stir in 300 milliliters of milk and 200 milliliters of cream. Once smooth, simmer for 15 minutes. Taste and season well. Leave to cool.
Stir in 2 medium eggs and 4 egg yolks to the filling mixture. Add 100 grams of grated Gruyere cheese and 1 teaspoon of mustard.
Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to ¼-inch thick. Gently line a 9-inch loose-bottomed baking pan with the dough. Press it into the pan and leave the excess pastry overhang.
Line the pastry crust with parchment paper and pour in ceramic baking beans. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove the paper and beans and cook for 10 more minutes until the pastry is golden.
Reduce the oven to 355 °F.
Transfer the leek mixture to the pastry case and smooth the top.
Bake the creamed leek tart for 30 minutes until it is golden on top and set.
Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
