Leek and Goat Cheese Tart Recipe

INGREDIENTS
For Pate Brisée
2 Cups Flour
½ Pound Butter
½ Cup Cold Water
Pinch Salt
Egg Wash (1 Egg Mixed with 1 Tbsp Milk)

For Filling
2 Logs Goat Cheese, Crumbled
4 Leeks (White and Light Green Only)
1 Tbsp Butter
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
Salt/Pepper to Taste

For Custard
1 Cup Cream
1 Egg Yolk
1 Whole Egg
Salt/Pepper to Taste

INSTRUCTIONS
1.  Preheat oven to 350° F.
2.  Make Pate Brisée.  Combine flour, salt, and butter in a electric mixing bowl and mix until the butter is crumbled into small pieces.  Slowly add only enough water to make the dough come together.  Cover and let rest for 20 minutes in refrigeration. 
3.  Wash and cut leeks into small pieces.  Combine oil and butter in a sauté pan over medium heat.  Lightly sauté leeks until tender and fragrant.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Remove to a clean bowl and cool.
4.  Roll out Pate Brisée.  Fit into individual tart rings on a baking sheet.  Let rest for 20 minutes in refrigeration.
5.  Whisk together cream, egg, and yolk.  Season to taste with salt and pepper. 
6.  Fill each tart with sautéed leeks and crumbles of goat cheese.  Add custard mixture until ⅛ inch from the top of the tart. Brush the tart shell with the egg wash.
7.  Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and custard has set.  Serve warm or room temperature.  Makes 8 individual tarts.
