Ingredients

• 500 grams Potatoes
• 2 stalks Leeks
• 150 grams Feta Cheese
• 300 grams Shortcrust Pastry
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 100 milliliters Heavy Cream
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, clean and slice the leeks into thin rounds. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté until soft and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and heavy cream together. Add the nutmeg, salt, and black pepper, and whisk until combined.

Step 5

Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch (23 cm) tart or pie pan. Gently press the pastry into the pan, trimming any excess from the edges. Prick the base of the pastry with a fork.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the boiled potatoes and sautéed leeks over the pastry base. Crumble the feta cheese over the top.

Step 7

Pour the egg and cream mixture over the filling, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 8

Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
