Place the tart dough in the mold and prick the base with a fork.
Par-bake the dough at 190°C for 10 minutes.
Slice the leeks into thin rings and cook them in butter for 16 minutes, until soft and dry.
Whisk the eggs, cream, kashar cheese, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the leeks over the tart base and pour the egg mixture on top.
Bake the tart at 185°C for 28 minutes, until the center is set.
Rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
💡 Tip: Do not put watery leeks onto the tart base; if pan moisture remains before baking, the base stays doughy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice the quiche warm and serve it with optional lemony arugula salad and cold sparkling mineral water.
