Time 1h

Yield 6 small servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the ricotta base:
1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1 large egg yolk
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup sour cream
Salt and black pepper
For the pastry:
One 14-ounce package Dufour or other all-butter puff pastry
For the topping:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 to 4 leeks, white and light green parts only; cut diagonally into 1/3-inch wide slices, to make a total of 2 cups
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt and black pepper
1 egg yolk, beaten
1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
12 oil-cured pitted black olives, torn or cut in half

Steps:

  • To make the ricotta base, preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, combine ricotta with egg yolk and olive oil; whisk until well blended. Stir in sour cream, and season with salt and pepper.
  • To make the pastry, cut pastry into six four-inch squares, and lightly score a border about 1/4 inch from the edge. Lightly score a criss-cross pattern in the inside of the square. Place on a baking sheet and bake until puffed and lightly browned, 10 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and poke the center with a fork to allow steam to escape. Cool for 10 minutes.
  • To make the topping, place a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Melt butter, add leeks and thyme, and sauté until leeks are soft and lightly caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
  • Brush the edge of the puff pastry with beaten egg yolk. Spread scored area of pastry with the ricotta base, and sprinkle evenly with Gruyére. Top with leeks and olives. Bake until the edges are golden brown, and the cheese is bubbling, 10 to 14 minutes. Serve hot.

This leek tart was delicious! I loved the сочетание вкусов и текстур. The leeks were perfectly caramelized and the crust was flaky and buttery. I would definitely make this again.

This leek tart was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if I had used less olive oil. Other than that, it was a delicious and easy-to-make dish.

This leek tart was a great way to use up some leftover leeks I had in my fridge. It was easy to make and turned out really well. The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of leeks, but I decided to give this tart a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The flavors were well-balanced and the crust was perfectly cooked. I would definitely make this again.

Yum! This leek tart is so delicious and easy to make. I love that it's vegetarian, so I can enjoy it even on meatless Mondays. The leeks are perfectly caramelized and the crust is flaky and buttery. I highly recommend this recipe!

This leek tart was a bit of a disappointment. The filling was bland and lacked flavor, and the crust was soggy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I just don't like leeks? I'll have to try another leek recipe before

This leek tart was a delightful culinary experience! The combination of flavors and textures was simply exquisite. The leeks were perfectly caramelized, and the oil-cured olives added a salty, briny touch that complemented the sweetness of the leeks
