Description

Crostata di Porri (Savory Leek Pie)

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 4 whole Leeks, Sliced
  • Salt/pepper
  • 1 whole Egg, Beaten
  • 1 cup Ricotta
  • ½ cups Grana Padano Cheese, Grated
  • 1 whole Refrigerated Pie Crust

Preparation

1. Into a deep sided pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add leeks, reduce heat to low and saute for approximately 15-20 minutes or until soft and translucent. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

2. Once leek mixture is cool, add egg, ricotta and Grana Padano. Mix to combine. Preheat oven to 395 degrees (F).

3. Spray a 10″ tart pan with cooking spray. Add pie crust and gently mold it to fit tart pan. Using the tines of your fork, make a few indentations on bottom of pie crust. Spread leek mixture into tart pan, smoothing the top.

4. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes until crust is golden brown. Allow to cool prior to serving.

I made this yesterday and may I say, it was DELISH! I also had never heard of Grana Padano, but found it at a local market. This was easy to prepare and absolutely fabulous!
Thanks so much!

@jblawhead Grana Padano is a hard Italian cheese. If you can’t find it you can substitute Parmigiano Reggiano : ) Sometimes when you translate from celcius the temps look a little odd : ) Hope you enjoy xoxo Paula

Just curious about the cheese, I’ve never heard of it before. Also, 395 degrees is an odd temp, but I’ll try it!

I was looking for recipes for leeks and came across this one…yum! Couldn’t find grana padano cheese – Parmigiano Reggiano seems to have worked because this turned out great. Shared some with my 90 year old grandma who loves leeks and it was a hit with her, too!
