  5. Spread the cooked leeks and bacon evenly in the pie crust.
  6. Pour the egg and cream mixture over the top, then sprinkle with the grated Gruyère cheese.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the tart is set and golden.
  8. Allow to cool slightly, garnish with chives if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Pair with a light salad or tomato soup for a complete meal. For storage, keep the tart in the fridge for about 3-4 days. To reheat, warm slices in the oven for about 10 minutes.
