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.

Bon Appétit!

I can't say enough about how much we loved working with Emily and Laura. I am a wine geek and they put together a full day private tour of Burgundy (with a fantastic guide) and a half day visit and basket lunch at a wonderful winery in Provence.

We definitely experienced a new way of traveling : out-of-the-way places, local markets and quaint little restaurants. We met a lot of French people and other travelers and always had a great time !

Staying in B&B’s is a great way to see the country and meet the people who live there in their normal environment. And, “France Just for You” provides an excellent way to have this experience. Emilie’s knowledge and detailed planning made the trip exciting and enjoyable! We will definitely seek her out for our next trip to France.

When we received our packet, I was amazed with all the info. Emilie put into it for our trip. We needed more time in the day for places on our daily agenda that we did not get a chance to visit. We will just have to return and finish them on the next trip to the Loire. Flo and Phil's, Les Bournais was a charming place with wonderful accommodations …

From Paris to Provence to the French Riviera, everywhere we stayed was wonderful …
