Leek and Goat Cheese Tart
I was originally looking for a light and healthy recipe after eating Halloween candy all week long; and light and healthy to me usually ends up being fish or salad and I had fish two nights in a row this week and salad just did not fit the bill with the cold and rainy day we were having.
I pulled out this book and was ready to make the Escalivada and just have a big bowl of veggies with french bread. Then I saw this recipe and could not pass it up; not only for my love of leeks and Gruyere cheese, but I had all the ingredients on hand except for the leeks! I love when I can use up what I have in the fridge; this does not happen often enough for me. With the rainy day we were having, this sounded so much more comforting than a cold salad. Light and healthy will have to wait...
Oh the aroma...

Don't waste your time on a fancy border -
it does not hold.
make sure to trim your paper if you
think it will hit your heating element.
So much for the fancy border.
Not the best looking crust I have made -
I also forgot to prick the bottom with a fork
after the first part of baking.
(did it after the fact)
