In summer, savory tarts are a perfect solution for summer dinners, excursions or picnics. They are easy to transport and it is something that everyone likes; In addition, they are as delicious hot as they are warm, so it is not a problem to take it anywhere to share a few hours after preparing it.

The book “La spoon de Plata” is a continuous source of inspiration for me, I resort to it a lot; not only for Italian recipes, which have many and very good ones, but for others like this cake today.

When we have people at home I like to serve the savory tarts in a nice mold that looks good on the table, that's why I always make them in a ceramic one that is attractive like the one you see from Emile Henry . The recipe looks even better!

We can serve the leek tart hot at the same time or consume it cold later, this is one of those recipes that even win if they are eaten like this, at room temperature, without the need to heat, which is a great advantage.

• This recipe has been made in the tall ceramic mold from Emile Henry , but you could make it in others. We do recommend that it be a ceramic one, thanks to its good baking, its beautiful presentation on the table and because you can cut directly on it since it does not scratch. You can see all the ceramic molds here .
• You can find the WMF medium grater and others in the section Mandolines and graters .
