Ingredients

Servings: 6
  • 200 g + 1 tablespoon + some flour
  • 7-10 Tbsp salt and pepper
  • 100 g cold + 1 tablespoon + some butter
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 300 g Leeks (leek)
  • 100 ml White wine
  • 150 g Fresh cream
  • 150 g Fresh goat cheese roll
  • 7-10 Tbsp Rosemary
  • 7-10 Tbsp Cling film

Directions

  1. 1

    For the dough, knead 200 g flour, 1 pinch of salt, 100 g butter in pieces, egg yolk and 3 tablespoons of cold water to a smooth shortcrust pastry. Wrap in foil and chill for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Clean and wash the leek and cut into fine rings. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a frying pan. Steam the leek for 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp. flour and sauté briefly. Add wine, bring to the boil. Stir in crème fraiche.

  3. 3

    Simmer for about 5 minutes while stirring. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Preheat oven (electric cooker: 200°C/circulating air: 175°C/gas: level 3). Grease six tartlet cups with removable base (approx. 12 cm Ø) and dust with flour. Roll out the dough on a little flour and cut out 6 circles (approx. 14 cm Ø).

  5. 5

    Place in the moulds, press on the edge and prick the base several times with a fork. Pre-bake in a hot oven for about 15 minutes.

  6. 6

    Cut 4 slices from the cheese. Crumble the remaining cheese and stir into the leek. Spread on the pre-baked bases. Cover each with 1 slice of cheese and bake at the same temperature for 15 minutes.

  7. 7

    Possibly garnish with rosemary.
