  4. Slice the leeks and pop into the pan and fry until soft. Remove and drain.
  5. Slice the courgette and fry. Remove and drain.
  6. Now assemble in layers in the pastry case, seasoning each layer as you go. Start with the leeks, then potato, then courgette. Keep going. Beat the eggs with 5tbsp water and seasoning. Pour over the layers. Top with cheese. Sprinkle with sage leaves. Bake for around 30mins. Serve with salad.
