- In a frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add leeks and cook 2 to 3 minutes, without browning. Add cabbage and continue to cook for about 5 minutes. Add raisins, cumin, cinnamon, and half the salt. Combine and divide among the tartlets.
- In a bowl, beat eggs, milk and rest of salt. Divide among tartlets and reserve 15 ml (1 tbsp.) of mixture. Divide cheese among tartlets. Brush rim of pastry with reserved egg mixture.
- Bake on middle oven rack for 20 to 30 minutes or until topping is cooked. Serve with a red lettuce salad.
Variation: Serve the cabbage and leek filling (without the eggs and cheese) as a side dish.
