Make a shortcrust pastry from flour, butter, salt, water, and egg yolk. Let it rest for 1 hour. Finely slice the leek and sauté in the hot oil for 10 minutes. Then stir in the bacon and remove the pan from the heat. Whisk together the eggs and cream and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Line the bottom and half of the sides of a greased springform pan (26 cm diameter) with the shortcrust pastry. First, spread the filling on the bottom, then the egg wash, and finally sprinkle the Gouda cheese over the top. Preheat the oven to 200°C and bake the leek and ham tart for 45 minutes.
