Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the oil in a frying pan, then soften the leeks for 5 mins. Add the bacon, cook for a further 5 mins, season, then tip onto a plate to cool.

  • step 2

    Unroll the pastry and cut out two 12 x 18cm rectangles – save or freeze the rest for another time. Lift onto a baking sheet. Using the tip of a sharp knife, mark a border inside each one, about 1.5cm from the edge.

  • step 3

    Mix the crème fraîche and mustard together, then spread over the inside of the pastry frames. Spoon the leek and bacon mix over the mustard mix, then place the goat’s cheese on top. Bake for 15-20 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden. Serve with salad.

RECIPE TIPS
FREEZING

You can freeze the tarts if using fresh puff pastry bought from the chiller cabinets in supermarkets. Puff pastry that has been pre-frozen shouldn’t be returned to the freezer.

Cooked this on the spur of moment and it was really very nice. The only downside was that it didn't look very elegant if I had of been serving this at a dinner party but the flavour and texture were bang on.

Made this for a dinner party last night. Didn't change a thing apart from adding a bit more goats cheese. Instead of individual tarts, I also made one large one and it was plenty big enough for a starter. Served with a mixed leaf salad. Gorgeous!

Light and tasty. I needed to use up a couple of leeks and some goats cheese and this fitted the bill perfectly. I made it with grainy mustard and veggie bacon then served it with steamed broccoli and kale. Will make again

This can't be a vegetarian dish if it contains bacon

amazing easy recipe and tasty. i am not a great cook and my guests loved this. the pastry seemed too thin to press in with a knife so i just pinched the sides to make the ridge...seemed to do the trick well. i also doubled the potions which made good man sized potions for 3. yum.
