Wonderful leek dish, the only things I did different were, cutting up the leeks and I added grated nutmeg to the sauce. Next time I will broably leave out the breadcrumbs, add the cheese to the sauce and then bake for 10-15 minutes -
It's been ages since I made something with breadcrumbs so this recipe caught my eye. It is a very nice recipe and something different to do with leeks. Very filling too. Nice time I probably will cut the leeks into one inch sized pieces to make it easier to fish them out when serving the dish up as I never remember which way I lay them out.

Recently married, I live in South Florida. I enjoy cooking and entertaining when I can. We recently bought a house and are trying to get our lives together. My husband loves me trying new recipes (as long as they don't have veggies!) which is great, because I love to try them. Everyone that comes to our house becomes a taste tester. :)
