Leek and Hot Smoked Salmon Tart

Serves 
4
45 mins

There is nothing quite like a classic tart and this one is no exception. We love the rounds of leek that are nestled up with garlic and onion and our original hot smoked salmon. Delicious served with a crisp green salad or some roasted winter vegetables.

Ingredients

1 x pack of Aoraki Original Artisan Hot Smoked

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

1 leek, sliced into rounds

3 eggs

150ml cream

1 x quantity shortcrust pastry

50g parmesan cheese, coarsely grated (tasty, edam or Colby would be fine here too)

Method

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the onion until soft and translucent. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

Add a little extra olive oil to the pan and add in the leek rounds cooking on one side until golden before flipping over and cooking on the next. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Step 4

Crack the eggs into a small bowl, pour in the cream and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper then whisk with a fork until smooth.

Step 5

Line a 20cm tart tin with pastry then blind bake until golden brown and the base is cooked through. Remove from the oven.

Step 6

Sprinkle the onion over the bottom of the pastry then arrange the leek rounds on top. Flake the salmon around the leeks then pour in the egg mixture and scatter with the cheese.

Step 7

Put into the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through and golden on top.

Step 8

Serve with a crisp green salad.
