    This was a really delicious tart. I followed @stef's suggestion and added two tablespoons of sour cream to the crust dough and that made it come together perfectly (so glad I read the notes before making this)! Otherwise I followed the recipe. Timings and directions were perfect.

    I used a little extra water to make the dough come together. Came out beautifully after blind baking and normal baking. Very nice result.

    I made the crust in my food processor. It was crumbly so I added 2 tablespoons of sour cream and it came together beautifully. Filling is so good. A repeat for sure

    Creamy and delicious! I did not use bacon, but I lightly pan-fry a small piece of chicken breast meat, seasoned with salt and pepper. Let cool, and cut into small dices, about 1 cup. And I've used Cheddar cheese, and my homemade sour cream. Instead of white wine, I use my homemade chicken stock. Delicious tart, with buttery crust and very tasty filling.

    We thought it was delicious! Very creamy and rich without tasting overly so. Cooking times were spot on. I omitted the bacon and used four medium large leeks. Next time, if omitting the meat I would definitely use 5 leeks, but other than that the filling was perfect and we didn't miss the bacon at all. Subbed in a different classic shortcrust instead of using Weiss'.

    I don't have a lot of experience with crust, and this one didn't work for me at all. But the filling on this is really very good, and I'll make it again with a store bought crust.
