Three Quick Savory Pie Recipes: Zucchini-Goat Cheese Tart, Tuna Pie, and Leek Tart

Zucchini and Goat Cheese Tart

This expert-approved tart beautifully pairs fresh zucchini with creamy goat cheese for unbeatable flavor. Line a pie dish with puff pastry. Slice 2-3 zucchini into rounds and layer them evenly on the pastry. Crumble 250g fresh goat cheese over the slices. In a bowl, whisk 4 eggs with 20cl light liquid cream, season with salt and pepper, then pour over the top. Bake at 180°C for about 30 minutes, checking for doneness. Finish with finely chopped chives for a fresh garnish.

Tuna Pie

Experience the surprising, savory depth of this warm tuna pie. Spread a thin layer of mustard on puff pastry in a pie dish. Flake a drained can of tuna over the base. Sprinkle 150-200g grated Gruyère cheese generously to keep it moist. Top with even slices from 2-3 tomatoes, then add more grated cheese. Bake at 180°C for 15-20 minutes until golden.

Leek Tart

Elevate leeks beyond soups with this flavorful tart. Whisk 3 eggs with salt in a bowl, then stir in 20cl light liquid cream. Add chopped steamed leeks from 2 large ones, mixing gently to coat. Pour over puff pastry in a pie dish. Bake at 180°C for about 25 minutes, adjusting time as needed. Pair with arugula salad dressed in balsamic vinegar for perfection.
