France Just For You Founder Emilie loves leeks and easy recipes so this is one of her favorites! This can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 large leeks
  • 1 cup ricotta
  • ½ cup double cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons chopped tarragon
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Gruyere or swiss cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 375°F/190°C. Put the pastry in a quiche pan, prick the base with a fork and line with baking parchment and baking beans. Bake for 10 mins, then remove beans and parchment and return to the oven for 5 more minutes. Reduce oven to 340°F/170°C.
  2. Melt the butter in a large pan and gently cook the leeks for 10 minutes until softened. Beat together the ricotta, cream, eggs, tarragon, a little salt and plenty of black pepper. Stir in the leeks and all but a handful of the cheese.
  3. Pour the mixture into the tart and scatter the top with the remaining cheese. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and set. Leave to settle for 5 minutes, then carefully remove from the tin and allow to cool a little on a wire rack. Serve warm.

Leslie & Family
Just returned from an amazing trip with our family, including 3 teenage boys. Emilie carefully listened to our request to focus on military history and arranged an itinerary with just the right balance of history, culture, art, and military history. We had incredible guides to Paris, WWI, and WWII sites plus unique B&Bs. So many memories!
