Flamiche

Flamiche is a rustic Belgian leek pie: meltingly soft, sweet leeks bound with cream and eggs in a buttery crust. It is simple, farmhouse cooking that tastes far more than the sum of its parts.

In Belgium it is served warm from the oven as a main with a green salad, or in slices as a snack. Take the time to cook the leeks slowly until they collapse — that sweetness is the whole point.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Line a 9-inch (23 cm) tart pan with the pastry, trim the edges, and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet and cook the leeks over medium-low heat for 15–20 minutes until completely soft but not browned.
  3. Whisk the eggs, cream, cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper together; fold in the leeks.
  4. Pour the filling into the pastry shell and brush the rim with the egg glaze.
  5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 40 minutes, until set and golden.
  6. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing; serve warm with a green salad.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Do not rush the leeks — slow cooking brings out their sweetness. Leftover flamiche is excellent cold the next day.
