Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. For the leeks: Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add leeks and salt and sauté for 4 minutes. For the bread cubes: In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with melted butter, thyme, and salt. Spread out on a large baking sheet and bake until golden and slightly crunchy, 10 minutes.
- Add two tablespoons of water to the leeks and cover the skillet to steam, 10 minutes; remove leeks to a baking sheet to cool for 2 minutes. For the custard base: In a large bowl, whisk egg, egg yolks, heavy cream, milk, half the Parmesan, and salt.
- Assemble the bread pudding: Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl or pot, layer the croutons, leeks, and custard base for even mixing. Add remaining Parmesan and mix thoroughly to combine. Butter a casserole dish, add the bread pudding and finish with more Parmesan. Bake 25-30 minutes.
- Remove casserole dish from the oven when the custard has set and the top is golden brown; serve.
