exquisite ingredients, a little time-consuming but easy to make – exquisite enjoyment

Quickly knead the dough ingredients into a shortcrust pastry and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Dice the ham, cut the leek into rings about 0.5 cm wide, and cut the onions into half rings. Fry the ham cubes in a large frying pan over medium heat, remove from the pan, and sauté the onion mixture in the frying fat until light yellow. Then let it cool. In a bowl, combine the onion mixture, the ham, the four cheeses, the sour cream, the egg, the finely chopped herbs (without the basil), the grated garlic clove, salt, plenty of freshly ground black pepper, a little chili, and caraway seeds until smooth. Flatten the dough and press it into a shallow tart or springform pan. Form a rim of about 2 cm. Pour in the filling and smooth it out. Bake the tart at 170°C for about 45 minutes until golden yellow. Sprinkle with fresh, finely chopped basil before serving. Best enjoyed with a glass of young, chilled white wine!
