Baked baby leeks

By Abigail Donnelly

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

2 punnets 200 g Woolworths baby leeks, washed
1 1⁄2 cups cream
120 g pecorino, grated
2 T butter
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 slices ciabatta, torn into small pieces
salt, to taste
crushed green peppercorns, to season

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the leeks in an ovenproof dish and pour over the cream. Add the cheese, butter, thyme and ciabatta. Season with salt and pepper.

Chef tip: Tenderstem broccoli or asparagus also works well here. Add blue cheese to make it special.
