Step-by-step recipe
1 Cut the carrots and onion into small dice (mirepoix) and divide the cauliflower into small florets.
Mince the leek.
2 Steam the carrots for 6 minutes and the other vegetables for 4 minutes. They should not be completely cooked, so monitor the cooking time.
3 Line the mold with puff pastry. Prick the bottom with a fork.
4 Spread the cheese dice then the pre-cooked vegetables.
5 Beat the eggs with the cream and milk; add salt and grated nutmeg and pour this mixture over the pastry.
6 Bake in a hot oven at 375°F (190°C) (gas mark 6-7) for 30 to 40 minutes approximately.
7 Serve with a green salad garnished with sprouts and a few pumpkin seeds that you can toast in a dry pan (roast)
8 For the salad dressing: mix lemon juice, pumpkin or rapeseed oil (or failing that olive oil), and a dash of soy sauce.
Eat hot or lukewarm, or cold cut into small squares for an appetizer. You can also add a few blanched lardons to the mixture.
