Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C and line a tart tin with the shortcrust pastry.
  2. Fry the sliced onion and leeks in a frying pan with a little butter for 5 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the fresh cheese, eggs, crème fraîche and milk until you have a smooth mixture.
  4. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
  5. Spread the lardons and vegetables over the base of the tart.
  6. Pour the mixture over the top, then sprinkle with grated Gruyère if using.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the surface is golden and the centre no longer wobbles.
  8. Leave to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Variations and tips

Prune version. Replace the lardons and vegetables with pitted prunes for a sweet-savoury autumn version.

Vegetarian version. Replace the lardons with sautéed button mushrooms.
