Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch leeks, white and pale green parts only, thinly sliced into half-moons and washed well (about 2 cups)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
6 ounces soft goat cheese, room temperature
2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons milk
3 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme (or 1/4 teaspoon dried)
1 store-bought refrigerated pie crust (for a 9-inch pie)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack on lowest shelf. In a medium bowl, toss leeks with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together goat cheese, cream cheese, milk, 2 egg yolks, and thyme. Lightly season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, beat remaining egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash.
  • Place pie crust on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread goat-cheese mixture on crust, leaving a 2-inch border. Top with leeks. Fold edge of dough over filling, pinching folds together to seal. Brush dough with egg wash.
  • Bake until crust is golden brown, about 1 hour. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into wedges; serve.

This tart was a bit too rich for me. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The tart was a little too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the goat cheese for tofu. It worked out great!

The tart was a little too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a store-bought crust. Next time I'll make my own.
