Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 2 large leeks, sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup grated Sbrinz cheese
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Substitutions for ingredients:

- Use different vegetables, such as spinach or mushrooms, instead of leeks.

Tips and tricks:
- Make sure to cook the leeks until they are soft and tender before adding them to the tart.
- Don't overfill the tart with the egg and cheese mixture, as it will puff up while baking.
- Let the tart cool for a few minutes before slicing to make it easier to cut.

Storage instructions:

Reheating instructions:

Presentation ideas:

Pairings:

Troubleshooting advice:
- If the crust is browning too quickly, cover it with foil while the tart finishes baking.
- If the filling is not setting, bake the tart for an additional 5-10 minutes.

Food safety advice:
- Make sure to cook the tart until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown to ensure it is fully cooked.
