Tonight it was a lovely supper of Leek Cheese and Baked Potatoes. This is a childhood favourite of mine. My mum says she invented Leek Cheese, but I am not sure as this feels like it should be a classic in every home. So, does anyone else make cheesy leeks?
Edited to add: so it seems I should have added the recipe first time round... see, there I was thinking everybody knew how to make this... I guess maybe my mum did invent this!
- Trim a couple of leeks, and cut in half down the length. Wash.
- Quickly steam/ boil leeks to cook.
- Put leeks in ovenware dish and pour over cheese sauce (a recipe can be found here)
- Bake for 30 mins or so in a medium oven.
So you see, just like Cauliflower Cheese (which is definitely a classic) but with leeks.

This looks fabulous & I have a very long leek in the fridge! How do I do it?
I'm afraid we don't.... but we did have leeks for dinner last night!! with smoked mackerel, creme fraiche, pasta and some capers, it was delicious!!! Anyway, back to your cheesy leeks! How do you make that dish?
Yum! I am always looking for a vegetarian dishes. This is definitely something I can do. Thank you for the recipe!
I've not made them before but I think you have just given me the inspiration for tonight's dinner ...
sounds heavenly. You know I never had a leek before and then I married a man from Oxford and now leeks are always in our menus.
