Leek & Salmon Tart
leek
This moist and succulent dish is best served at room temperature. Fresh salmon can be used but smoked slices of salmon lend to much more flavour.  I used a clay flan dish, ideal for pastry. You can choose your favourite pasty recipe, but there are so many good quality ready made pastry that it’s hard to resist saving time.

Serves 4

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


½ package pastry (thawed as per package instructions)
2 leeks, chopped
1 tblsp butter
200 grams smoked salmon, chopped
3 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup crème fraîche
Fresh dill
Salt and pepper to taste

Line pie or flan dish with pastry and chill in fridge for 30 minutes. 

Preheat oven to 400°f. 

Prick pastry all over and line with foil.  Fill with dried beans and bake for 10 minutes.  Be sure to cover the edges so they do not burn.

Lightly brown chopped leeks in butter until soft, about 15 minutes.  Season with salt, pepper and dill.  Add chopped salmon and remove from heat.

Whisk together 3 eggs until broken up, then whisk in the milk and crème fraîche. 
Arrange leek and salmon mixture evenly over pastry.  Pour custard mixture over leek and salmon. 

Place tart on a baking sheet until top is golden and puffed and the custard is cooked through, about 25 – 30 minutes.
