Step-by-step
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C / 350F / Gas Mark 4. Trim and wash the leeks. Cut them in half.
- Into a grill pan, pour the olive oil, heat it and, when hot, put the leeks on to braise for 5 minutes, constantly turning them. Grease 4 ovenproof moulds/bowls with butter.
- Cut the cheese into very small cubes. Mix the leeks with the cream, the cheese, salt and pepper then fill the moulds/bowls with this mixture. Sprinkle a generous amount of breadcrumbs over the top of each.
- Bake for 10 minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden and the cheese is melted. Serve hot.
