  Crust:
3 cups sifted flour
¾ cups cold butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
3 egg yolks
1 egg white
½ to ¾ cups cold water

8 to 10 leeks (white part) sliced thin
2 cups heavy cream
Mixed herbs (tarragon, thyme, marjoram)
3 eggs
½ cup butter, to cook leeks

Remove paper and weights and brush evenly the egg white over bottom of cooked pastry. Bake 5 minutes more. Let cool.

Filling:
Place leeks with butter in a deep skillet. Cover and cook over low heat until soft and most liquid is reduced.

Pour wine and cook 5 more minutes.

Add heavy cream, parmesan cheese and mixed herbs. Stir thoroughly and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

Allow to cool a few minutes. Add eggs, previously mixed. Check seasoning.

Pour leek mixture into crust and take to oven 350° F (175° C) for 30 to 35 minutes or until set.
