Method

To make the Leek Savory Pie, start by cleaning the leeks, removing the outer layer, then slice them into rounds and wash them carefully under running water.
Pour a drizzle of oil into a pan, add the leeks, season with salt and pepper, add a splash of water and let them stew, covered, over low heat until tender.
Put the ricotta in a large bowl, add the grated Grana Padano, the egg and the stewed leeks and mix carefully to combine all the ingredients well. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper if needed.
Place the roll of puff pastry in a pie pan lined with parchment paper, prick the bottom and spread the filling inside.
Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C (350 °F) for about 40 minutes. Once cooked, take it out of the oven and serve your Leek Savory Pie. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!

Variations and Alternatives

If you like, you can enrich your Leek Savory Pie by adding diced Emmental or any other cheese you prefer to the filling. For a richer version, though obviously no longer vegetarian, you can add diced speck or pancetta to the ricotta after browning them well in a skillet.

Tips

To make your Leek Savory Pie even tastier, we recommend adding to the bowl with the ricotta, eggs and Grana Padano not only the leeks but also the liquid they released while cooking.

Storage

Leek Savory Pie keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days and can also be eaten at room temperature.
