Leeks are too delicious to stand only as an enhancement. Here, they're the star of a side dish, with a bit of French flair. —Chuck Mallory, Chicago, Illinois
Reviews
The recipe calls to add cheese, but there is no mention of what kind or how much of it. I don't personally mind experimenting, but it would be nice to know what the recipe intended.
This recipe is rich and craveable. I prepared it for July 4th and our guests loved it and requested it for their birthday party today. This is a great recipe just as it is. Now excuse me I have to prepare another batch!
OMG this is absolutely delicious - just as written. Leeks are a little milder than onions and this is a very sophisticated entre when paired with this simple cream sauce. SO easy to make. I served it with baked chicken thighs (skin on and seasoned with McCormick's poultry seasoning) and it was suitable for company. Would also be great with beef. I will be putting this in my regular rotation. Awesome.
Very good and simple to make. We actually liked it better the next day as the "custard" part was a bit thicker. It's a nice and different side dish.
