Ingredients

• 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 tablespoons Cold water
• 3 large Leeks
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 100 milliliters Heavy cream
• 2 Eggs
• 100 grams Grated Gruyère cheese
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

For the crust, combine the gluten-free flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough begins to come together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

While the dough chills, prepare the filling. Trim, halve, and thinly slice the leeks. Rinse well to remove any dirt.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté for about 10 minutes until soft. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, whisk together heavy cream, eggs, grated cheese, black pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.

Step 7

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and flute the edges.

Step 8

Spread the sautéed leeks evenly over the pie crust, then pour the cream and egg mixture over the top.

Step 9

Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
