Let’s Talk About the Ingredients In This Leek And Prosciutto Tart

The first thing to talk about  is the puff pastry I used in this leek and prosciutto tart.

To make this leek and prosciutto tart easy, I use store bought puff pastry, don’t judge Jammie Oliver does too and that’s good enough for me.

The other thing is the leeks.

The best way to clean the leeks is to first cutaway the tough outer stems, then slice them down the middle put them in a bowl of cold water. Lift the leeks out with a slotted spoon the dirt stinks to the bottom repeat 2 more times.

Third, I used by Cuisinart Toaster/air fryer oven to bake the tart, using my small counter top oven saves me time and money .
