Leek & goat cheese tart

Yield: 6 Servings

Ingredients:

• 2 tb Butter
• 6 md Leeks (white & 2" of green) -- sliced into 1/4" rounds -- and rinsed well -- to remove grit
• 2 tb Balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 ts Salt
• 1/2 ts Freshly ground pepper
• 1/2 c Heavy cream
• 7 oz Goat cheese; crumbled
• 1 Pre-baked 10" tart shell

Instructions:

In a lidded frying pan saute the leeks in the butter until wilted. Add vinegar salt and pepper; cover and cook on low heat until leeks are tender (about 30 minutes). Remove lid and increase heat to moderately high; add cream and cook stirring until cream is absorbed (about 1 minute). Remove pan from heat and cool slightly. Spread the goat cheese evenly over the bottom of the tart shell. Spoon the leek mixture evenly over the cheese. Bake in a 350 degree F. oven until heated through and browned on top (about 15 minutes). From: The Cook's Garden catalog - Spring/Summer 1993 (page 40)
