Ingredients

8 medium leeks, white and light-green parts only
1 3/4 cups heavy cream

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Halve leeks lengthwise, leaving halves attached at root, and rinse well, shaking off water.

3. Sprinkle with cheese and bake until golden and bubbling, about 35 minutes. Let gratin rest 10 minutes before serving.

Yum! Substituted soy milk for cream and it was STILL delicious. A great recipe for using the leeks that come in our CSA box.
