Leek, Bacon and Stilton Tart

How long can you leave meat for once you've opened the packet? The bacon from Friday has not yet turned ominously but give it another day... I decline to give it the chance and use the pan fried fat of the bacon to sauté some finely chopped leeks and spread it all on a rectangle of puff pastry with some generous crumbs of Stilton cheese and leaves of thyme. Twenty minutes later and the softened leeks manfully stand up to the task of blending with the twin salt sources of the bacon and cheese. The Leek, Bacon and Stilton Tart is an excellent match for ale, in this case Oxford Gold.
