Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven on to 180 °C. While it heats up, prep the leeks and bacon from the next steps.

  2. Wash and cut the leeks

    Trim the ends of the 3 leeks, split them in half lengthwise, wash well between the layers, then slice them into rounds.

  3. Cook the leeks

    Put the leeks in the skillet with a splash of water and a pinch of salt. Cover, or cook uncovered over medium heat, stirring, until tender and the water has cooked off.

  4. Drain the leeks

    Tip the leeks onto a slotted spoon to get rid of any leftover water, then set them aside in the mixing bowl.

    Tip · Press the leeks firmly against the slotted spoon, since leftover water would keep the bacon from browning and make the crust soggy.
  5. Brown the bacon

    Put the skillet back over medium-high heat with no added fat and brown the 120 g of diced bacon on its own. Then lift it out with the slotted spoon and add it to the leeks.

  6. Make the filling

    In the mixing bowl, whisk the 2 eggs with the 5 cl of crème fraîche, the pinch of nutmeg and the pepper. Add the leeks and bacon, stir, and taste before salting.

  7. Fill the crust

    Lay the pie dough in the tart dish and prick the bottom with a fork. Pour in the filling, then cut the goat cheese (100 g) into rounds and arrange them on top.

  8. Bake the tart

    Bake at 180 °C until the filling is fully set and the crust is golden. Let it cool for 5 min before slicing.

    Tip · Stick the tip of a knife into the center: it should come out clean, with no liquid, which means the eggs are set. Serve with a green salad.
