Cut the leek lengthwise, trim, wash, and cut into rings. Heat the oil or clarified butter in a pan and sauté the leek for about 5 minutes. Whisk the eggs with the cream, cornstarch, and Gouda cheese. Stir in the slightly cooled leek and season with salt and pepper. In the meantime, make the dough. In a mixing bowl, knead the flour, salt, egg, and cold butter into a shortcrust pastry. Pour into a greased 26cm springform pan and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Spread the leek mixture onto the dough and place in a preheated oven at about 200°C (top/bottom heat). Bake for about 40 minutes. It tastes great at a party with a cold beer, but can also be eaten as a main course.
