Critical Success Points

  • Fully reduce the spinach to avoid excess water in the filling.
  • Allow the filling to cool completely before placing it on the pastry.
  • Brush the pastry with oil to prevent it from drying out during baking.

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful of hot oil splatters when cooking the leek.
  • Use gloves or a kitchen towel to handle the hot pastry out of the oven.
  • Handle the knife carefully when cutting the leek.
