Ingredients

Dough

  • 185 g flour
  • 125 g butter cut into small cubes
  • 1-2 tbsp cold water

Filling

  • 150 g rocket salad
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 white portion of the leek
  • 2 eggs
  • 125 ml milk
  • 125 ml cream
  • parmesan cheese shaved

Instructions

Dough

  • Put the flour into a middle-sized bowl.
  • Cut the butter into little cubes and mix with the flour. Mix with your hands until it looks like little bread crumbs.
  • Add the cold water (really cold water!) and mix again.
  • Now start kneading the dough (still with your hands!) for around 20 seconds until it gets very soft.
  • Form a little ball out of it, wrap it into cling film and refrigerate it for 30min.

Filling

  • In a large frying pan heat the oil, add the 2 crushed garlic cloves and the chopped white portion of the leek.
  • Brown them for 5 minutes. Then add the rocket salad and cook it for one more minute.
  • Let the filling cool down until it's time to get started with the tart.
  • Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out.
  • Now transfer it to your tart base. Cover the dough with baking paper and put it into the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Afterwards remove the baking paper and bake for another 5 minutes.
  • Now reduce the temperature to 180° and start assembling the dough and filling.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the eggs, the cream and the milk.
  • Spread the rocket leek mixture onto your dough.
  • Pour the egg mixture over your greens and put the tart into the oven.
  • Bake for 50 minutes in the oven.
  • Once the tart is out of the oven, place some shaved parmesan on the hot tart.
  • Enjoy!!!
