🧂 Ingrédients
- 375 g Puff pastry(ready-rolled)
- 3 medium Leeks(white and light green parts, thinly sliced and washed)
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 150 g Gouda cheese(grated)
- 100 g Cheddar cheese(grated)
- 2 large Eggs
- 150 ml Heavy cream
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper

👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Unroll the puff pastry and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Score a border about 2cm from the edge all around, being careful not to cut all the way through. Prick the inside area all over with a fork.

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook gently until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let them brown.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
- 5
Scatter half of the grated cheeses over the puff pastry inside the scored border. Top with the softened leeks, then scatter the remaining cheeses over the leeks.
- 6
Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over the cheese and leeks.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed, and the filling is set.

Let the tart cool slightly before slicing and serving.
