Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the oil in a frying pan, then soften the leeks for 5 mins. Add the bacon, cook for a further 5 mins, season, then tip onto a plate to cool.
  2. Unroll the pastry and cut out two 12 x 18cm rectangles - save or freeze the rest for another time. Lift onto a baking sheet. Using the tip of a sharp knife, mark a border inside each one, about 1.5cm from the edge.
  3. Mix the crème fraîche and mustard together, then spread over the inside of the pastry frames. Spoon the leek and bacon mix over the mustard mix, then place the goat's cheese on top. Bake for 15-20 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden. Serve with salad.

Freezing

You can freeze the tarts if using fresh puff pastry bought from the chiller cabinets in supermarkets. Puff pastry that has been pre-frozen shouldn't be returned to the freezer.

    Great recipe. Yummy and very quick to make. i loved the mixture of the bacon, goat's cheese and leeks. Very easy to turn it into a veggie dish too. I made one big tart that I cut into portions instead of making individual sized ones which i think made it a lot easier. It was great the next day for lunch as well. Would recommend.

    I really enjoyed this, although I used cubed pancetta in the fridge instead of bacon as I had it in the fridge. Very easy.

    I increased the quantity of ingredients, and made one big one, then cut it into portions as a starter, served with rocket salad & balsamic vinegar drizzled over the top.

    Really quite easy to make. Easily adaptable to a vegetarian dish (veggie bacon can be used just like normal bacon). Very very tasy - mustard & creme fraiche very good touch!

    This made an excellent family summer lunch, the flavours were just right, tasty but light. but I made it with shortcrust pastry (I cheated and used ready made pastry....(far too hot to be stuck in the kitchen!!!) and like before made a big one instead of individual ones, served it with jersey royals and a rocket salad. Will defo be making it again very soon.

    amazing easy recipe and tasty. i am not a great cook and my guests loved this. the pastry seemed too thin to press in with a knife so i just pinched the sides to make the ridge...seemed to do the trick well. i also doubled the potions which made good man sized potions for 3. yum.
