Method

1
Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan.
2
Add the diced butter and stir until melted. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
3
Add the instant mashed potato powder and stir.
4
Mix the wheat flour and baking powder together, then add the flour mixture to the potato mixture. Stir until smooth.
5
Press the warm dough into an even layer on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Prick holes in the pie base with a fork.
6
Fry the bacon until crispy. Chop the bacon.
7
Grate the Gruyère cheese and spread the grated cheese over the pie base. Add the bacon on top.
8
Remove the root and the outer split leaves from the leek. Make a lengthwise slit all the way to the center of the leek so you can rinse it inside. Cut the well-washed leek diagonally into half-centimeter thick slices. Spread the leek slices evenly over the bacon bits.
9
Whisk the cream, eggs, and seasonings together in a bowl. Pour the mixture evenly over the pie.
10
Bake on the bottom rack of a 200-degree oven for about 30–35 minutes. Let cool and cut into portions.
