Ingrients & Directions


MARTHA STEWART’S 1996 HOLIDA
2 bn Leeks, white parts only
1 Sheet store-bought puff
Pastry
1 tb Olive oil
1 bn Scallions, chopped
1/2 ts Kosher salt
1/4 ts Black pepper
1 lb Gorgonzola or other blue
Cheese, crumbled

1. Heat oven to 350 F. Slice white part of each leek into 1/4″ rounds, and
soak in large bowl of water to remove any sand.

2. On lightly floured work surface, roll puff pastry to 1/4″ thickness,
about 12″ in diameter. Press puff pastry into bottom and sides of 9″ round
or rectangular tart pan (with removable bottom). Run rolling pin across top
to trim. (Scraps can be wrapped in plastic and frozen for later use.)
Carefully line pastry with aluminum foil, and weight with beans, rice, or
pastry weights. Bake for 10-15 minutes. When pastry begins to color around
edges, remove weights and foil, and continue to bake until pastry turns
golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Place pan on wire rack, and let cool
completely before filling.

3. While pastry bakes, drain sliced leeks, and assemble filling. In medium
saute pan, warm olive oil over high heat. Saute leeks and scallions until
soft, about 6 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

4. Fill baked pastry shell with crumbled cheese, and top with sauteed leeks
and scallions. Bake in back of oven for 20 minutes, or until cheese
bubbles. Slice and serve immediately.
