How to Make Goat's Cheese Shallot And Leek Tart A Bit Of A French Tart

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out your pastry (store-bought or homemade) and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan. Prick the base with a fork.
Finely slice the leeks and shallots. Sauté them in butter until softened but not browned (about 8-10 minutes).
In a bowl, gently mix together the softened goat cheese, crème fraîche, eggs, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread the sautéed leeks and shallots evenly over the pastry base.
Pour the goat cheese mixture over the leeks and shallots.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set. Don't worry if it seems a little soft when you take it out; it will firm up as it cools.
Let the tart cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or cold!
