• total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (200 g)

7 tablespoons butter (100 g)

1 egg

1 1/2 tablespoons water (40 ml)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon dried thyme

3-4 long leeks (depending on size)

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon of honey

1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper

Fresh thyme (a few sprigs)

1/4 cup feta cheese (for garnish, 50 g)

Directions

Thyme Shortcrust Pastry

Place the flour, salt, thyme, and butter in a mixing bowl or the bowl of a kitchen machine. Mix until the texture becomes crumbly.

Add the egg and water, then continue mixing until a smooth dough forms.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Once chilled, lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle.

Prepare the leeks

Cut leeks in half lengthways and rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove all traces of dirt.

Cut them into sections so that they cover the entire tart pan.

Prepare the marinade

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey and wholegrain mustard.

Season with salt, pepper and fresh thyme leaves.

Assembling the tarte tatin

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) (fan oven).

Brush the bottom of the pan with a spoonful of marinade.

Arrange the leeks in the bottom of the pan, cut side down.

Pour remaining sauce evenly over leeks.

Unroll the pastry and place gently on top of the leeks. Turn the edges of the pastry towards the inside of the tart pan to enclose the filling.

Baking

Bake for 40-45 minutes, until golden and crisp.

Finishing

Once out of the oven, carefully run a knife along the edges of the tart pan to loosen the pastry.

Place a plate on top of the tart and turn it upside down with a quick, sure movement.

Sprinkle with crumbled feta and fresh thyme before serving.
