From Marigold Allen, Beeches Country House. Adapted from The New Irish Table. I don't think a dish with this much cheese needs any salt, but use your own discretion. I also prefer this type of dish without bread crumbs. Ingredients:
8 large leeks, white part only, halved lengthwise and cut into 6-inch pieces |
boiling salt water |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded |
salt |
pepper |
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Make sure leeks have been rinsed well.
3. Cook in boiling salted water until slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
4. Drain.
5. Place cut side up in a greased baking dish.
6. Pour cream over the leeks.
7. Sprinkle with cheese, salt and pepper.
8. Bake until cream has thickened and cheese is melted, about 10-15 minutes.
9. Preheat broiler.
10. Sprinkle bread crumbs over leeks.
11. Place 4 from heat source and broil until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.
