Stage 8 - 5 min.
Langoustine and leek tarts
Put a layer of hot leeks into each pastry case (reheat them first if necessary).

Then add a layer of scampi.

Stage 10 - 5 min.

Remarks
The most difficult thing with this recipe is serving it all hot. It is better to take your time preparing everything, then reheat it all (except the hollandaise sauce, which should be kept warm) and fill the tarts at the last minute.
Keeping: Only a few minutes once assembled.
