Savory Sweet Potato And Leek Tart

Total Time: 2 hrs 10 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 50 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes
• 2 medium leeks (4-5 oz)
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 ounces grated gruyere cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon parsley
• 1 dash nutmeg

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• 2 bake the potatoes until the center is tender when you stick a knife in it.
• 3 prepare tart dough. (use your preferred pie crust. i use 1c flour, 1/3c oil, 1/6 c water, 1/4t salt and blend in food processor, then mold it to the pie dish with the palm of my hand.).
• 4 trim the leeks, and cook 7-10 minutes on medium heat in butter until tender. add dash of water 3-4 mins into cooking to keep them from burning.
• 5 place all tart ingredients into food processor and blend. mash the potatoes (skins excluded) and add to the mix.
• 6 cook tart shell for 10 mins at 400.
• 7 pour the tart mix into the shell and bake at 375 for 45-40 minutes or until golden. gently shake the dish, and if the center giggles loosely, it needs more time.
• 8 note: i made this with evaporated milk instead of cream, and didn't have gruyere so used parmesan and goats cheese. i also didn't have parsley, so added more thyme. i doubled the recipe and used an 11x14 dish. it came out great!
