Spread a little ketchup on it and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Heat the oil, water, and vegetable stock. Trim the leek, cut it into strips, and sauté it in the stock until half cooked. Mix the butter, spices, and herbs with the leek. Spread the leek mixture over the dough base and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Whisk together the eggs, sour cream, white wine, cornstarch, and salt, and pour over the cheese. Bake the leek tart on the bottom rack of a preheated oven at 200°C for about 40 minutes. This also serves 4 people as a starter.
