Leek and Bacon Tart

Leek and Bacon Tart

If real men don't like quiche, they certainly LOVE this filling Leek and Bacon Tart.

You can use a regular pastry crust and make it as indulgent as you like.

Or you can keep it healthy with my tasty Lentil and Oat pie crust with low fat cheese.

So useful for family lunches, dinners, meals, snacks or picnics. Freeze the base uncooked or cooked whole or sliced. 

• 1.5 lbs leeks 
• 4 ozs chopped lean bacon
• 4 ozs grated cheese
• 3 eggs 
• 10 fl oz milk or single cream or 0% creme fraiche
• salt and black pepper 

Wash and thinly slice the leeks, and saute gently in low fat spray and dash of water til soft. Cool then spread over the pastry base.

Dice the bacon and saute for 5 mins, spread over the leeks and add the grated cheese.

Beat together 3 eggs and 10 fl oz of milk/single cream/0% creme fraiche, whichever your choice, season with salt and black pepper. Bake 180 degrees C for 25/30 mins til golden and set.
