Servings: 8 people

Equipment

  • 1 small skillet
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • paper towels

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 small-medium leeks (rinsed thoroughly and sliced)
  • 4 oz pancetta (finely chopped)
  • 4 oz Gruyere
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (store bought and thawed)
  • 2 teaspoon tarragon (chopped)
  • 1 beaten egg (for eggwash)
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  • Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat your oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Start by heating the olive oil a frying pan and sautéeing pancetta for about 4-5 minutes. When crispy, set aside on a paper towel to drain using a slotted spoon.
  • Cook the Leeks: In the same pan, cook the sliced leeks seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper until they are soft on medium heat, about 7-10 minutes. Add chopped tarragon at the last minute, then remove from heat.
  • Prep the Pastry: On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle about ¼-inch thick with a rolling pin. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. With a knife, trace a ½ inch border, and gently pierce the base of the tart with a fork. 
  • Assemble the Tart: Sprinkle the grated Gruyere cheese onto the puff pastry. Spread the leek mixture over the cheese, and then layer the crispy pancetta on top. Brush the border with egg wash.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges of the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
  • Serve: Remove from oven, top with additional fresh tarragon, and serve immediately.
