How it's done

Dough

Mix the flour, mixed seeds and salt in a bowl. Add the butter and rub together using your hands to form an even, crumbly mixture. Add the water, mix quickly to form a soft dough; do not knead. Flatten the dough, cover and chill for approx. 30 mins.

Filling

Heat butter in a pan. Add the leek, sauté for approx. 5 mins. Transfer the leek to a bowl, allow to cool slightly; add the cheese and sausage, mix.

To shape the base

Roll out the dough into a circle (approx. 32 cm in diameter) between two sheets of baking paper, transfer to a baking tin along with the bottom sheet of baking paper. Prick the base firmly with a fork, spread the filling on top.

Egg mixture

Whisk the single cream and eggs, season. Pour the mixture over the leek and sprinkle with mixed seeds.

To bake

Approx. 40 mins. on the bottom shelf of an oven preheated to 200 °C. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly and serve warm.
