Ingredients
- 2-1/2 cups (10 oz.) smoked Cheddar cheese, grated
- 4 medium sized leeks
- 8 slices cooked ham
- 2 cups white sauce*
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325° F.
- Wash the leek, carefully removing the excess so only the stem remains. Cut the leeks in half to yield 8 pieces.
- Place the leeks into a pan of boiling, salted water and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, remove and place into cold water.
- When the leeks are cold, dry on kitchen paper, wrap each piece of leek in two slices of ham and place into a baking dish.
- Add half the smoked Cheddar to the white sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the leeks.
- Sprinkle the remainder of the cheese on top of the sauce and bake until golden, and 15 to 25 minutes.
- *White sauce is made with a base of butter, flour and milk.
