Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 large leeks, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
• 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 sheet dairy-free puff pastry sheet
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons chickpea flour (optional for thickening)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Roll out the dairy-free puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Fit the pastry into the pan, trimming any excess edges. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and minced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the leeks are soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Season the leeks with salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the almond milk and cornstarch until smooth. If using chickpea flour for additional thickness, dissolve it in a few tablespoons of almond milk to form a smooth paste before adding to the mixture.

Step 6

Pour the almond milk mixture into the pan with the leeks. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped thyme, then remove the mixture from the heat.

Step 8

Pour the leek mixture into the prepared pastry-lined pie pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.

Step 10

Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.
