Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to line a 20cm tart tin.
  • Chill the pastry-lined tin in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Line the pastry with greaseproof paper, fill with baking beans, and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the weights and paper, then bake for another 5-6 minutes until golden.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C.
  • Melt butter in a pan and fry leeks until softened, then let them cool.
  • Whisk the cream, egg, and egg yolk together in a bowl.
  • Combine the egg mixture with the cooled leeks and season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the leek mixture into the baked pastry case.
  • Layer the smoked salmon over the leek filling to cover it completely.
  • Sprinkle grated gruyère over the salmon and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Whisk mustard, vinegar, and olive oil to create a dressing.
  • Toss the lettuce and watercress with the dressing.
  • Serve a slice of tart alongside a portion of salad.
