French Leek Pie image

It's an original French recipe My Mum used to bake during the holidays. Great to eat with a salad during summer or even winter time. Absolutely Delicious!!! Can be prepared the day before and served as a starter or main dish. Can substitute Emmental for Gruyere cheese.

The pie was good, but I found the filling to be a bit bland. I added some extra seasoning and it was much better. Overall, a solid recipe that can be easily customized to your taste.
