Procedure to prepare the savory pie with leeks and speck

Let’s start preparing the Savory pie with leeks and speck. Clean the leeks and cut them into rings.
Soak them for 10 minutes in a bowl with plenty of water so any soil residues can be removed, then drain them.
Pour a splash of oil into a pan, add the leeks, season with salt and pepper, and cook on low heat with a lid for about 15 minutes, occasionally stirring.
In the meantime, cut the cheese into small pieces.
When the leeks are soft, remove them from heat and let them cool.
Unroll the puff pastry, keeping the longer side towards you, place some of the speck in the center, and set aside 6/7 slices to cover the filling later.
Add the now cold leeks.
and the cheese cubes.
Cover everything with the remaining slices of speck.
Cut the two side parts of the puff pastry into strips about 1 centimeter wide.
Close the upper and lower parts to create a border.
Braid the strips to seal the Savory pie with leeks and speck well.
Brush the surface with water and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and when it’s hot, bake. Cook for 20 minutes and serve the Savory pie with leeks and speck hot for a stringy effect or at room temperature.
