]]>Special equipment: Since this is a free-form tart, there is no pie dish or tart pan required. This gives the recipe a rustic feel and makes for fewer dirty dishes!
What to buy: Please take the time to make this dough from scratch, which will lend a flaky butteriness to the dish. Of course, if you are time-constrained, go ahead and use a store-bought crust. Just try to get the best you can find.
Crème fraîche is a naturally thickened fresh cream with a tangy flavor and a rich texture, and it does not curdle or separate when heated. If you can’t find it, sour cream is a decent substitute.
Game plan: Here are some tips on how to make the dough. It can be made well ahead of time and then rolled out and formed when you are ready to make the tart. Also, the onions and leeks could be sautéed up to a day ahead. Just don’t combine them with the herbs and the crème fraîche until you are ready to bake the tart, because you don’t want the flavors to become too intense.
