I declare the season for comfort food open! And what better way to start than with a delicious savoury galette such as this leek and Comté cheese version.
The name for this pastry is 'tarte rustique' in French and I quite like the sound of it and the homeliness it evokes. To me, it goes hand in hand with my favourite season: Autumn (if you did not know at this stage).

Galette is also the name for a savoury crepe (or pancake) made with buckwheat flour. Whenever I order one in a creperie in France, my favourite filling is leek fondue topped with sautéed scallops. The sliced leek is softened in a frying pan with butter and cream and just melts in the mouth.
For this galette, I used a similar process for the leek but cooking it less in the pan because it will continue cooking in the oven. I folded some grated Comté cheese into the mixture to add nutty flavours to the dish. Trust me, this cheese is perfect for autumnal dishes.
What resulted was a wonderful savoury pastry and the perfect comfort food I was seeking.
