Preparation

Arrange pie crust on a pie plate. Scald leeks a few minutes in boiling water. Drain and sauté in 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter without allowing to color. Remove from pan and set aside.

In the same frying pan, brown onion and garlic in remaining butter. Add sugar and cook for a few more minutes until mixture starts to caramelise. Add minced smoked salmon and cook 3 more minutes.

Break eggs in a bowl. Whip vigorously while incorporating mustard and hot milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F).

Spread Canadian Swiss cheese on the bottom of pie crust. Spread leeks over cheese, then spread onion and salmon preparation. Finish by pouring egg and milk preparation over salmon.

Bake in oven 20 minutes. Arrange smoked salmon slices on pie to decorate. Bake 5 to 10 minutes more.

Accompany with mesclun salad.
