This Leek and Prosciutto Tart is one of my favorite ways to turn a humble leek into something truly special! It’s surprisingly easy to make, and the hardest part is waiting for it to come out of the oven while all those delicious aromas fill your kitchen.
I love how the mild, delicate flavor of the leeks pairs with salty, crispy prosciutto and rich, creamy Brie cheese. Every bite is packed with flavor, and trust me, your family and friends will be reaching for another slice!
Serve this savory tart with a fresh green salad for a lovely lunch or light dinner. It’s simple enough for a casual meal but elegant enough to serve when you have company. I have a feeling this is one tart you’ll want to make again and again!
Let’s Talk About the Ingredients in This Leek and Prosciutto Tart
Let’s talk about a few things that make this Leek and Prosciutto Tart so easy to put together!
Store-Bought Puff Pastry
First up is the puff pastry. I use store-bought puff pastry to keep things simple. No judgment here! Even Jamie Oliver uses shortcuts, and that’s good enough for me. I love making delicious food from scratch, but I’m all for saving time when it makes sense.
How to Clean Leeks
Leeks are delicious, but they can hide quite a bit of dirt between their layers. To clean them, trim away the tough outer leaves and roots, then slice the leeks lengthwise. Place them in a bowl of cold water and gently separate the layers to loosen any dirt. Lift the leeks out with a slotted spoon, leaving the dirt behind at the bottom of the bowl. Repeat as needed until they’re clean.
Baking the Tart
I baked this tart in my Cuisinart toaster oven and air fryer. I love using my countertop oven for smaller recipes like this because it heats up quickly and saves me from having to turn on my big oven.

Store-bought puff pastry makes this recipe quick and easy. A countertop toaster oven works well for baking a smaller tart.
Storage: Store leftover tart in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Reheat in a 350°F oven or toaster oven for 5–10 minutes, or until warmed through and the pastry is crisp. Avoid the microwave if you want to preserve the flaky texture.
Serving Suggestions: Serve with a fresh green salad for a light lunch or dinner. You can also cut the tart into smaller squares for an easy appetizer.
