Herbed Leek Tart Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 20 min. + cooling

Yield: 16 Servings

25 20 45

Ingredients

3 cups thinly sliced leeks (about 4 medium)
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
1 package (15 ounces) refrigerated pie pastry
1 teaspoon milk
2 tablespoons chopped almonds or walnuts, optional

Directions

In a large skillet, saute the leeks, red pepper and garlic in oil until tender. Remove from the heat; cool for 5 minutes. Stir in the cheese, mustard and herbs; set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each sheet of pastry into a 12-in. circle. Transfer to parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Spoon leek mixture over pastry to within 2 in. of edges. Fold edges of pastry over filling, leaving center uncovered. Brush folded pastry with milk; sprinkle with nuts if desired.
Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until crust is golden and filling is bubbly. Using parchment paper, slide tarts onto wire racks. Cool for 10 minutes before cutting. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 2 tarts (8 servings each).

Editor's Note: Look for herbes de Provence in the spice aisle.

Nice. I left out the peppers and it was still good.
