with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake in 375F 190C oven for 10 minutes.
Remove pie weights and foil; Bake for 15 minutes longer or just until
lightly golden. Let cool.

Meanwhile, in large skillet, melt butter over mediumlow heat; cook leeks,
stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes or until softened. Let cool.

Brush cooled pastry shell with mustard; spread leeks over top. Sprinkle
with bacon. Whisk together eggs, whipping and light creams, pepper and
salt; pour over bacon. Bake in 350F 180C oven for 3035 minutes or until
