Ingredients:

Serving

5 tbsp butter, divided
1 tsp horseradish
3 tbsp dijon mustard
2 1/3 cups fresh breadcrumbs ( french bread is good)
1 cup roquefort cheese, crumbled
9 oz fresh baby spinach leaves
8 oz leeks , cut in half lengthwise the thinly sliced across (about 3 cups)
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a medium sized skillet over medium-high heat. DO NOT burn. Mix in half of the horseradish and 2 tablespoons of the Dijon mustard. Then add the breadcrumbs.
Saute the breadcrumbs until light golden, about 3-4 minutes. Cool slightly. Stir in the cheese.
Toss half of the spinach leaves in a large non-stick pan on high heat just until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the wilted spinach to a sieve set over a bowl and press down with a spatula to release the moisture. Repeat again with the remaining spinach, draining as directed.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in medium-high heat in same pot you used to cook the spinach. Add the cut up leek and saute about 4 minutes.
Add the cream, the remaining horseradish and mustard, and finally the spinach. Toss until the mixture is thick and blended, about 2 minutes total. DO NOT burn.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Transfer the spinach/leek mixture to a 7 x 11 inch baking dish. Top with the toasted breadcrumbs.
Bake until bubbly, about 10 minutes.
Serve with a cheesy grin.
