Trim the leek and cut it into 0.5 cm thick rings. Dice the bacon and fry it in 1 tablespoon of fat until crispy. Sauté the leek rings in this mixture for 5-8 minutes. Let it cool slightly. Grate the cheese. Mix the cream, eggs, flour, and cheese and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Then fold the egg mixture into the leek and bacon mixture. Knead the dough briefly again.
