Description

This leek-cheese-gratin with ham is a hearty and warming dish that tastes particularly good in the colder season. The leeks are first blanched and then covered with a creamy cheese sauce before being baked in the oven with grated cheese and ham. I like to make this dish when I have guests because it is easy to prepare and always well received. The combination of the mild leeks, the spicy cheese and the salty ham is simply irresistible. A great main course for a festive meal or a cozy brunch!
