ingredients
directions
- Prepare the leeks by cutting off the roots, the coarse green leaves and the damaged outer layer. Run under the tap to get rid of the dirt and grit. Slice them into a colander and rinse again. Cook them gently in the butter till soft.
- Line a shallow pie dish with a layer of pastry, and turn the leeks and the ham (chopped small) on to it.
- Mix cream and eggs well together. Season with salt and plenty of pepper and strain into pie dish. Cover with a pasrty lid, and brush with milk.
- Bake for about 30 minutes in a 350F oven.
- This pie tastes better warm than hot. If you prefer a flan, just cook without the pastry lid.

Another five star review. I had a bit of trouble with this recipe (not familiar with "single cream", "pastry lid".) Nevertheless I muddled through. I may have been off a little, but the finished result was delicious. I used a little extra ham, and I have no idea how much leeks, as my scale wasn't working. I used two crusts, bottom and top. The result was just wonderful. Thanks so much.

Outstanding!! One of the best savory tarts I ever have eaten. I used Recipe #178790 #178790 for the leeks, for a bit of extra flavor (I love thyme). The crust was crisp and buttery, the filling was creamy and lush. (It even reheats quite well in a microwave on low.) I certainly will be making this again.
