Instructions

  1. Make a shortcrust pastry from the flour to margarine, chill for about 30 minutes (I took the frozen cabinet).
  2. In the meantime, wash the leeks thoroughly, cut into 1-2 cm thick pieces, wash again, shake thoroughly dry in a colander, sauté in the olive oil, add the peeled tomatoes, for a maximum of 10 minutes, strain the liquid, save or drink.
  3. Let the whole thing cool down a bit.
  4. Add cheese, except for 50 g, + spices + egg yolk + flour, stir. Beat the egg white with a pinch of salt until stiff, fold in carefully. Divide the dough into 3 greased jenaglass bowls, cover the base + form a rim.
  5. Spread the leek mixture in all 3 bowls (I often have a leftover, depending on how much of the leek I have to dispose of, I put it in an extra bowl), smooth it out, cover with the remaining Gouda cheese + sprinkle with turmeric (for Eye).
  6. Bake at 160 C, without preheating, for approx. 40 minutes, golden brown.
  7. If you want + like, you can add 150 - 200 g, smoked lean bacon or raw ham, diced. Since the leek cake is not thrown out, it is advisable to bake it in portions. With beer or wine.
