Leek and goat cheese tart

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 tablespoons Butter
6 mediums Leeks (white & 2\" of green) sliced into 1/4\" rounds and rinsed well to remove grit
2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Freshly ground pepper
½ cup Heavy cream
7 ounces Goat cheese; crumbled
1 Pre-baked 10\" tart shell

Directions

In a lidded frying pan, saute the leeks in the butter until wilted. Add vinegar, salt and pepper; cover and cook on low heat until leeks are tender (about 30 minutes). Remove lid and increase heat to moderately high; add cream and cook, stirring, until cream is absorbed (about 1 minute). Remove pan from heat and cool slightly.

Spread the goat cheese evenly over the bottom of the tart shell. Spoon the leek mixture evenly over the cheese. Bake in a 350 degree F. oven until heated through and browned on top (about 15 minutes).
