Yield Makes 8 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 17.3-ounce package frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
4 leeks (white and pale green parts only), sliced (about 4 cups)
1/4 cup water
2/3 cup whipping cream
4 ounces Camembert cheese, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large egg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Pinch of ground nutmeg
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out each pastry sheet on lightly floured surface to 12-inch square. Stack squares and roll to 15-inch square. Using 14-inch pizza pan as guide, cut stacked dough into 14-inch round. Crimp edge of dough to form 1/4-inch rim. Transfer to pizza pan or baking sheet. Freeze 10 minutes.
  • Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and 1/4 cup water; cook until leeks are tender, about 15 minutes. Season leeks with salt; set aside to cool. Bring cream to simmer in medium saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; add Camembert and stir until melted. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes. Whisk in egg, cayenne, and nutmeg. Set custard aside.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan over crust. Spread leeks over. Drizzle custard over. Bake until bottom is golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I don't like leeks, so I wasn't a big fan of this tart.

This recipe is too complicated. I'm not a very experienced cook, so I had a hard time following the instructions.

This tart is way too expensive to make. I could never justify spending that much money on ingredients.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tart didn't turn out as well as I hoped. I'm not sure what went wrong.

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

I had some trouble getting the crust to brown evenly. I think I needed to preheat the oven for longer.

This tart is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth the effort.

I'm not a big fan of camembert, so I used brie instead. It was still very good.

This tart is a great way to use up leftover leeks.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the bacon from the recipe. The tart was still delicious.

This tart is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also great for potlucks or picnics.

I added a few slices of prosciutto to the tart for some extra flavor. It was a great addition.

I used a store-bought puff pastry crust to save time, and it turned out great. The tart was still flaky and delicious.

This tart was easy to make and came out looking just like the picture in the recipe. I'll definitely be making it again.

I'm not a huge fan of leeks, but this tart changed my mind. The leeks were cooked perfectly and had a mild, sweet flavor that paired well with the rich camembert.
