Creamed Cheddar Leeks image

This is a James Martin recipe that he used on his Christmas shows. I also use this recipe for part of our Christmas lunch, (or our Sunday roast) as it can be prepared well in advance and then finished in the oven just before serving. Leeks, cream and cheese are a match made in heaven and this is no exception. I hope you enjoy it.

This recipe was so good! The leeks were perfectly cooked, and the cheddar cheese sauce was creamy and flavorful. I served it over rice, and it was a perfect meal. I will definitely be making this again.
