Pastry for 9-inch (23 cm) single-crust pie
2 tbsp (25 mL) Butter
1 Leek (white and light green parts only), thinly sliced
1/2 tsp (2 mL) Each salt and pepper
1-1/4 cups (300 mL) Corn kernels (about 2 cobs)

1 tbsp (15 mL) Chopped fresh dill

Recipe



On lightly floured surface, roll out pastry to 1/8-inch (3 mm) thickness. Fit into bottom and up side of 9-inch (23 cm) round tart pan with removable bottom. Prick with fork; line with foil and fill evenly with pie weights or dried beans. Bake in bottom third of 400F (200C) oven for 15 minutes. Remove foil and weights. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add leek, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add corn; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Let cool; mix in cheese and dill. Spread over crust.

In bowl, whisk eggs with cream. Pour over leek mixture. Bake on baking sheet in bottom third of 350F (180C) oven until puffed and golden, about 35 minutes. Let cool on rack for 5 minutes before serving.

Makes 8 servings.
