Cholera (Valais vegetable and cheese tart)

300 g white flour

½ tsp salt

120 g butter

cold, in cubes

1 egg

90 ml ice-cold water

1 tbsp butter

2 onions

finely chopped

400 g leek

in fine rings

100 ml white wine

500 g boiled potatoes from the previous day

peeled, in thin slices

2 tart apples (e.g. Braeburn or Boskoop)

peeled, quartered, sliced

1½ tsp salt

a little pepper

2 pinches ground nutmeg

a little flour

300 g mountain cheese

or raclette cheese, coarsely grated

1 egg

beaten

Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Add butter cubes and quickly rub together by hand to form a crumbly mixture. Add egg and water and bring together into a dough without kneading. Cover the dough and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat (level 6). Sauté the onion for approximately 3 minutes until translucent. Add the leek and sauté briefly. Pour in the white wine, cover and simmer for approximately 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue simmering until the liquid has evaporated. Remove the pan from the hob and allow to cool. Mix the boiled potato and apple slices with the leek and season.

Preheat the oven with PizzaPlus to 180 °C. Roll out ⅔ of the dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle (approx. 32 cm Ø and 2 mm thick). Place it in the prepared tin leaving a rim of approx. 4 cm, and press down firmly. Roll out the remaining dough on a lightly floured surface to a circle approximately 3 mm thick for the lid, then refrigerate. Prick the pastry base all over with a fork. Spread half of the filling over the base, then half of the cheese. Repeat the layers. From the second circle, cut out a lid of approximately 24 cm Ø, and use the remaining dough for decorations. Place the lid over the filling and seal the pastry edges well with a fork. Add any pastry decorations and press lightly. Make a small cross-shaped cut in the centre of the lid. Brush with egg. Place the tin on a wire shelf and insert into the preheated cooking space. Bake for approximately 55 minutes until golden brown.
