Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter, plus more for the dish
2 leeks, halved, thinly sliced and soaked in cold water for 30 minutes
3 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 cups grated fontina cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an oval baking dish. Drain the leeks and rinse.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the leeks and thyme, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the leeks are softened and golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Peel and slice the potatoes into very thin rounds. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Layer half of the potatoes in the buttered dish, then layer half of the cooked leeks over the potatoes. Repeat the layers.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat and add the cream cheese, cream, chicken stock and garlic. Stir together, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Sprinkle with the paprika and some salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and simmer for about 5 minutes so the cheese melts. Pour the cream mixture over the leeks and potatoes and top with the grated cheese.
  • Cover with foil and transfer to the oven. Bake for 40 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until the cheese is bubbly and golden, 15 to 20 minutes more. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

CHICKEN, LEEK, AND MUSHROOM CASSEROLE



Chicken, Leek, and Mushroom Casserole image

A hearty multigrain bread works bestin this casserole. It will maintain its texture, unlike a softer white-bread loaf, which may become gummy.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 2 large)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 leek, white and pale-green parts only, coarsely chopped and rinsed well
1 celery stalk, cut into 1/2-inch dice
10 ounces cremini mushrooms, halved if large
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons dry sherry
2 1/4 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock
3/4 cup whole milk
1 dried bay leaf
8 slices dense multigrain bread, crusts removed, slices cut into triangles
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (1 ounce)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook until golden brown on 1 side, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, reduce heat to medium, and cook until cooked through, about 10 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a plate, and return pan, with drippings, to medium heat.
  • Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in pan. Add leek, celery, mushrooms, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are golden brown and tender, 8 to 10 minutes. (Reduce heat if vegetables brown too quickly.) Stir in flour, and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Add sherry, stock, milk, and bay leaf, and cook, scraping up browned bits from bottom, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Discard bay leaf.
  • Arrange bread on bottom of a 2-quart oval baking dish, overlapping slices slightly. Spoon half of the vegetables and sauce over bread. Slice chicken crosswise, 1/2 inch thick, and arrange on bread. Top with any accumulated juices from chicken. Spread remaining vegetables and sauce over chicken, sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan, and bake until golden brown and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

LEEK CASSEROLE WITH MEAT AND POTATOES



Leek Casserole with Meat and Potatoes image

I prefer to use a mixture of ground beef and ground pork for this easy casserole with lots of leeks, potatoes, tomatoes, and cheese. I often make it in advance up until the final cheese stage. Just cover and refrigerate and then when you're ready to bake it, sprinkle with cheese and throw it into the oven.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality leeks. Fresh, firm leeks with bright green leaves will yield the best flavor and texture.
  • Wash the leeks thoroughly. Leeks can be quite dirty, so it's important to wash them well before using them. Cut off the root end and the tough, dark green leaves, then rinse the leeks under cold water, separating the layers to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Cook the leeks until they are soft. Leeks should be cooked until they are soft and tender, but not mushy. This will take about 10-15 minutes in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère, will give the casserole a rich and flavorful flavor.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. The casserole should be baked until it is bubbly and golden brown, but not overcooked. Overcooked casserole will be dry and tough.

Conclusion:

Baked leek casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its creamy, cheesy sauce and tender leeks, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give baked leek casserole a try.
