Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by rolling out your pie crust on a lightly floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick. Carefully fit the dough into a tart pan, pressing it into the edges. Trim any excess crust and use a fork to poke small holes in the base. Refrigerate the crust for about 15 minutes to firm up while you prepare the filling.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and mushrooms, stirring frequently. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the leeks are tender and the mushrooms are browned, releasing their earthy aroma. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and 1 cup of cream until well combined. Once the sautéed leeks and mushrooms have cooled a bit, gently fold them into the egg mixture, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
- Carefully pour the leek and mushroom mixture into the chilled pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once heated, place your tart on the middle rack and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes.
- Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes
Leeks can hold sand and grit, so be sure to rinse them well under running water. Overcooking can make your filling rubbery, so keep an eye on them while sautéing.
