Ingredients

25 g (1oz) butter
1 small leek, finely sliced
Flour to dust
250 g (9oz) shortcrust pastry
100 g (31⁄2oz) hot smoked salmon
1 tsp. wholegrain mustard
150 ml (5fl oz) double cream
1 medium egg
1⁄2 tbsp chopped chives

Directions

1. Step 1
  Preheat oven to 190°C (170°C fan) mark 5. Put in a baking sheet to heat up. Melt butter in a pan and gently fry leek for 20min until softened. Cool slightly.
2. Step 2
  On a lightly floured work surface, roll out pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin. Line a 20.5cm (8in), 3cm (11⁄4in) deep round flan tin with the pastry and prick the base with a fork. Line with baking parchment, fill with baking beans and bake blind for 10-12min. Remove baking beans and paper, then cook pastry for 5-8min until base feels sandy to the touch.
3. Step 3
  Turn oven down to 150°C (130°C fan) mark 2. Flake salmon into bite-sized pieces. Spread the mustard over base, followed by the cooled leek and salmon. Beat together the cream and egg and season well. Pour into the pastry case, sprinkle with chives and bake for 20-30min until just set. Serve hot or at room temperature with a green salad.
