👨🍳 Інструкції
- 1
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a 23cm (9-inch) tart tin with the shortcrust pastry. Prick the base with a fork and blind bake for 15 minutes.
💡 Професійні поради: Blind baking helps to prevent a soggy bottom. - 2
While the pastry is blind baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook gently until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in the plain flour and cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in the milk and double cream until smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
💡 Професійні поради: Ensure the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. - 4
Stir in the flaked smoked haddock, shelled mussels, prawns, chopped parsley, chives, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
💡 Професійні поради: Be cautious with salt as smoked haddock is already salty. - 5
Remove the blind-baked pastry case from the oven. Spoon the seafood and leek mixture evenly into the tart shell.
💡 Професійні поради: Ensure the seafood is evenly distributed. - 6
If desired, brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
💡 Професійні поради: This is optional but adds a nice visual appeal. - 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pastry is golden brown.
