  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2       tb           Butter
   6       md           Leeks (white & 2" of green)
                        -- sliced into 1/4" rounds
                        -- and rinsed well
                        -- to remove grit
   2       tb           Balsamic vinegar
     1/2   ts           Salt
     1/2   ts           Freshly ground pepper
     1/2   c            Heavy cream
   7       oz           Goat cheese -- crumbled
   1                    Pre-baked 10" tart shell

  In a lidded frying pan, saute the leeks in the butter
  until wilted. Add vinegar, salt and pepper; cover and
  cook on low heat until leeks are tender (about 30
  minutes).  Remove lid and increase heat to moderately
  high; add cream and cook, stirring, until cream is
  absorbed (about 1 minute). Remove pan from heat and
  cool slightly.
  
  Spread the goat cheese evenly over the bottom of the
  tart shell. Spoon the leek mixture evenly over the
  cheese.  Bake in a 350 degree F. oven until heated
  through and browned on top (about 15 minutes).
