Description
A pie in the French style
Ingredients
- Wheat Flour - 1½ glasses
- Butter - 3.5 oz

- Cheese Spread - 3.5 oz
- Milk - 4 fl oz
- Chicken Egg - 2 pieces
- Salt - to taste

Step by Step guide
Step 1
Pour the flour into a small bowl, add salt and diced butter. Mix the ingredients with your hands until you achieve a uniform consistency.
Step 2
Add 6-7 tablespoons of water to the resulting dough, knead it, and roll it out into a thin layer on a floured surface.
Step 3
Place the dough in a fireproof dish (3 cm deep and about 20 cm in diameter). Press the dough down to the bottom and sides, trimming off any excess from the edges. (If you have a lot of excess dough, you can make another pie in a small dish.)
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 392°F, so make sure to turn it on in advance and start preparing the filling. To do this, melt butter in a small skillet and sauté the leeks for 5 minutes. The leeks should become soft but not browned. In a bowl, mix with diced cheese (Stilton cheese works great, but you can substitute it with another type). Pour the mixture into the pastry shell.
Step 5
Beat the eggs with the milk. Add salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the pie and place it in the oven.
Step 6
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool, cut into triangles, and serve with a green salad.
