There's something special about taking a handful of simple ingredients and turning them into something that feels elegant. This Leek Tarte Tatin does exactly that. Sweet, caramelized leeks, flaky puff pastry, and a touch of honey come together in a recipe that's just as fitting for a casual lunch as it is for a dinner party.

Ingredients

    blank

    • No. 10 Skillet

    blank

    • 2 leeks, cleaned and cut into 2 inch pieces

    • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

    • 4 Tbs olive oil

    • 3 Tbs honey

    • Fresh thyme leaves, plus more for serving

    • 2 tsp salt

    • 1 tsp black pepper

    • 1 egg, beaten, for egg wash

    • Honey goat cheese, crumbled, for serving

    Directions

    1. Preheat your oven according to the puff pastry package directions.

    2. Clean the leeks well and cut them into 2 inch pieces. Thaw the puff pastry until it is pliable.

    3. Drizzle olive oil and honey into the bottom of a No. 10 skillet. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme.

    4. Arrange the leek pieces snugly in the skillet so they cover the entire bottom in a single layer.

    5. Place the sheet of puff pastry over the leeks and gently tuck the edges down around the inside of the skillet.

    6. Brush the top of the pastry with a light egg wash.

    7. Bake until the pastry is puffed, deeply golden brown, and crisp, about 30 to 35 minutes

    8. Let the tart rest for 10 to 15 minutes after removing it from the oven. Carefully place a serving platter over the skillet and invert the tart onto the platter.

    9. Finish with crumbled honey goat cheese, a sprinkle of fresh thyme, and an extra drizzle of honey and/or olive oil before serving.

    German Pancakes with Warm Berry Compote

    German Pancakes with Warm Berry Compote

    There’s something wonderfully simple about a plate of homemade German pancakes. They’re thin, tender, and lightly crisp around the edges, less fluffy than an American pancake and perfect for stacking, folding, or topping with whatever you have on hand. For this version, we’re keeping things classic: a simple, lightly sweetened pancake cooked in butter on the Lancaster No. 8 Griddle, then topped with a warm berry compote made with fresh lemon and a touch of vanilla.

    Classic Cherry Skillet Pie with Red Wine

    Classic Cherry Skillet Pie with Red Wine

    This is a classic cherry pie at heart: a buttery, flaky crust, plenty of juicy cherries, and a sweet-tart filling that bubbles into the crust as it bakes. The little twist is a splash of red wine in the filling, it doesn't overpower the cherries, but adds a subtle richness and brings out their deeper, almost jammy flavor. Baked in cast iron, the crust turns beautifully golden and crisp while the filling bubbles around the edges.
