Leek and cheese tart

Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 200 g flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 4 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 125 ml buttermilk
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 250 g leek
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 150 g crème fraîche
  • 2 eggs
  • salt and pepper
  • 200 g semi-hard cheese, strong, e.g. Emmental
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds or caraway powder

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 25 minutes

Mix flour, baking powder, oil, buttermilk, and salt into a shortcrust pastry, wrap in cling film, and chill for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, grease a 26cm tart tin well and then pour the pastry into it. Prick the base with a fork to prevent it from bubbling during baking. Cut the trimmed leek into approximately 0.5cm thick rings and sauté in a pan with a little butter for about 2 minutes. Then spread it evenly over the pastry. Mix the crème fraîche, eggs, salt, and pepper well; the amount of pepper is a matter of taste. Add a little more if you like it spicy. Coarsely grate the semi-hard cheese and sprinkle it on top with the caraway seeds. Bake in an oven preheated to 190°C (top/bottom heat) for about 20 minutes on the middle rack until golden brown.
