Classic French Leek Tart
Classic French Leek Tart features tender, buttery leeks nestled in a creamy custard enriched with nutty Gruyère, all baked in a flaky crust. The filling is mellow and aromatic with gentle onion sweetness, balanced by a hint of pepper and a golden, cheesy top. Serve warm for brunch, a light lunch, or as a starter with a crisp salad.
