Notes

To avoid leaks, chill the assembled dish in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking to firm up the pastry. Pair with a light salad dressed in vinaigrette to balance the richness. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to two days; avoid microwaving as it makes the pastry soggy. Reheat in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10–15 minutes for best results.
