Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 Shortcrust Pastry
  • 6 Fresh Eggs ⁠
  • 2 cups Whole Cream the equivalent of 2 briquettes ⁠in France
  • 11 oz Smoked Bacon optional, if you are a vegetarian
  • 3 Leeks according to their size, you may need to add cream if the top of the preparation is not completely covered ⁠
  • 5 oz Grated Emmental
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • Nutmeg to taste
  • Fresh Parsley for garnish ⁠

Instructions
 

  • ⁠First, prick the dough with a fork and put it in the oven for a few minutes at 180°C (350°F), just long enough for it to harden and brown a little with the heat (this will make it crispier on the bottom). ⁠
  • Cut the leeks into small pieces, clean properly to remove any dirt, and then set aside.
  • Brown the bacon in a pan and set aside as well, making sure to drain them beforehand. ⁠
  • In a bowl, using a whisk, combine the cream, eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. ⁠
  • Place the leeks, bacon and grated Emmental cheese on the pre-cooked dough, then pour the preparation. ⁠
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes at 200°C (400°F). ⁠
  • Decorate the tart with the leaves of fresh parsley if you wish. ⁠
  • It will be eaten very easily with a salad with a light olive oil dressing. Bon appétit! ⁠
