Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven on to 180°C (gas mark 6) so it heats up while you prep everything else.

  2. Prep the leeks

    Wash the leeks under cold water, trim the ends and the tough green parts. Slice them thinly into rounds.

    Tip · To keep the leeks from turning dark, cut them right before cooking them.

  3. Brown the bacon

    In the nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon for 3 min with no added fat so it renders its fat.

  4. Add the leeks

    Add the leeks to the skillet with the bacon, salt lightly and cook for 5 min over low heat, stirring.

  5. Roll out the dough

    Take the pie dough out of the fridge, lay it in a tart pan (or right on a baking sheet if you don't have a pan) and prick the bottom with a fork.

    Tip · If you want a crispier tart, roll the dough onto parchment paper and blind bake it for 5 min before filling.

  6. Fill the tart

    Spread the leeks and bacon over the dough, spread the crème fraîche on top and sprinkle with half the shredded cheese.

  7. Bake the tart

    Bake the tart for 20 min at 180°C until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and browned.

  8. Make the salad

    Wash the lettuce, dry it in a dish towel or a salad spinner, then roughly chop it into a bowl.

  9. Dress the salad

    Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, a little salt and pepper, and toss quickly.
