Slice 2 medium leeks and sauté them in 25 g of butter for about 4 minutes until softened.

Add a pinch of nutmeg, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the leeks and simmer for 6 to 7 minutes until tender.

Remove the leek mixture from heat and let it cool a little.

In a bowl, add 2 large eggs, 200 mL of single cream, a little salt, and plenty of black pepper, then beat together.

Prepare a tart shell using a ready-made short crust pastry or a homemade pastry recipe from the website.

Preheat the oven to 200° Celsius (Gas Mark 6).

Fill the tart shell with the cooled leek and nutmeg mixture.

Cover the pastry with parchment paper and weigh it down with baking beans, then bake for about 15 minutes.

Remove the weights and parchment, then bake uncovered for about 5 minutes to crisp the pastry.

Scatter 10 g of crumbled Stilton cheese over the leeks in the tart shell.

Pour the cream and egg mixture over the leeks and cheese.

Sprinkle 3 teaspoons of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the filling is set and golden.

Let the tart cool in the tin for 5 minutes before serving.
