Preparation

Step 1

Thaw puff pastry on the counter whilst you prepare the leeks.
Remove the leek’s dark green stalks and layer of outer leaves.
Halve them lengthwise and cut each into three pieces.
Simmer leeks in wine and butter seasoned with salt and pepper, about twenty minutes. Remove from liquid and pat dry.

Fold each piece of puff pastry in half, layer one atop the other, and roll the dough into a rectangle.
Use the back of a knife to score the pastry like a picture frame, making a one-inch border. Nestle leeks into the dough.
Sprinkel with goat cheese and brush the edges with egg white.
Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for approximately twenty-five minutes.
