Categories     side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 large leeks
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon coarse Dijon mustard
Salt and white pepper to taste
2 tablespoons buttered fresh white breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Trim the leeks, discarding the roots and reserving the green parts for another use.
  • Cut the white parts in half lengthwise and rinse carefully to remove sand.
  • Butter a suitable flat baking dish and arrange the leeks in it, cut side up.
  • Mix the cream with the mustard, season very lightly with salt (the cream reduces considerably during baking), add pepper to taste, and pour the cream mixture over the leeks. Sprinkle on the bread crumbs and bake for a half to three-quarters of an hour, or until the leeks are tender and the cream is well reduced and the top lightly browned.
