I would not recommend this leek tart recipe. It was a waste of time and ingredients.

This leek tart was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the leeks were undercooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The leek tart was a bit too dry. I think I'll add more cream or milk next time.

The leek tart was a bit bland. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

This leek tart was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less bacon next time.
