Creamed Leek Tart
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:
