Instructions
Prepare the Crust
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: rice flour, sweet cassava starch, cornstarch, and chickpea flour. Mix well.
- Add the sunflower oil, one egg, and 6g of salt. Stir until combined.
- Gradually add the ice-cold water. Use your hands to mix until the dough is smooth and holds its shape (moldable).
- Press the dough into a 11-inch (28 cm) removable bottom tart pan. There is no need to grease the pan.
- Shape the dough evenly along the bottom and sides, then prick the bottom with a fork.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Blind bake the crust for approximately 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Prepare the Leek Filling
- Briefly sauté the chopped leeks in a bit of olive oil until softened. Set aside.
- In a blender, combine 4 eggs, sweet paprika, turmeric, black pepper, and 4g of salt. Blend until smooth.
- Add the heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Blend again briefly and set aside.
Assemble and Bake
- Spread the sautéed leeks evenly over the pre-baked crust.
- Pour the cream mixture over the leeks.
- Top with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for approximately 25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
