BEST Tomato Leek Puff Pastry Pie (French It Up!)

Here’s how you can make Tomato Leek Pastry Pie at home with easy-to-buy ingredients. If there’s one thing I know about the French is that they love their pies. Especially salty ones. There are many variations of pies that they make but I, in particular, love a simple tomato pie or a leek pie.

This time I decided to combine tomato and leeks to create this delicious tomato and leek pie with a crusty, flaky exterior, an umami base of tomato with roasted leeks on top with herbs. *chefs kiss*

I will talk about how to improve this recipe and what substitutions you can use.

But first, why should you be making this? If I haven’t said it already, the ingredients are easily available in your kitchen.

EASY Ingredients!

  • Oil-based puff pastry (I just bought one from the local supermarket)
  • 2 large tomatoes sliced thin
  • 2 leeks (top and bottom cut out) sliced in half
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • Salt
  • Thyme
  • Rosemary
  • Fresh basil
  • Dijon mustard (I use this one)

And that’s it! I told you, it’s so easy that you have no excuse not to make it.

The technique used – No Fancy Techniques

I am not a pie maker and I managed to make this. That’s should be reason enough haha. No, but seriously, this pie just requires you to buy an oil-based puff pastry (most store-bought ones are accidentally vegan), roast the leeks and arrange the pie in any way you like. I just sort of went with the flow and this beauty happened.

Tomato Leek Pastry Pie – How to Make it Gluten Free

You can easily use a gluten-free puff pastry from the store and this will taste just as delicious. You can also replace the “puff pastry” and use pie dough for the base. It should still come out amazing!

And that’s about it. Do check out my other recipes:

Ingredients

1 Oil based puff pastry

2 large tomatoes, thinly sliced

2 large leeks (top and bottom cut out) sliced in half, lengthwise

2-3 tbsp dijon mustard

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Salt

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried rosemary

Fresh basil

Instructions

Salt the tomato slices on both sides and lay them on a tray rack so it loses some of the water (makes the pie less soggy)

    Toss the leeks in salt and pepper and roast them, cut side down, for 20 minutes in the oven.

      Roll out the puff pastry onto a pie mould.

        Spread the mustard on it and lay the tomatoes in a circular arrangement.

          Lay down the roasted leeks on top and sprinkle the thyme, rosemary and balsamic. More pepper and salt, if required.

            Bake at 200C/400F until the crust turns golden, about 30 minutes. Enjoy with some bread and a fresh salad!

              Notes

              You can definitely use a gluten-free puff pastry to make this recipe allergy-friendly.
              You can change up the herbs to what’s available and what you prefer.
