A Gratin of Leeks

TRUE CONFESSION: After filming this creamy-dreamy side dish (or vegetarian main course), I promptly ate half of it. Yes, it's THAT delicious! Click here for the printable recipe: goo.gl/d7t7N3

I love the idea of sauce Mornay. I'll try this with cauliflower!

I love the little vignette of Avery! Such a sweet heart pup! 💖 AND Mr. Potato Head! To cheeky-sweet! 😉Thank you for this video and recipe! Did you grow you own leeks?? I am so impressed with you gardening skills, along with your culinary AND musical talents! Bravo!! This dish looks amazing!! I'd think it would be great as an 'any meal' dish, i.e. for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thank you, again! Bon Appetit!! 😊💖🙏

[@sarahdowner4806]

Thank you for showing how you cut and clean the leeks. I have several in the garden that I grew last year and have never harvested, mostly because I'm a little intimidated by them! I plan to dig a few up and try your recipe today :)

I would love to see more vegetarian french side or main dishes. Thanks Kevin, you made it seem so easy!

[@shirleywelch577]

Thank you for the recipe, I will be preparing it this coming week. Our household of two is vegetarian and this looks wonderful. Appreciate any vegetarian recipes you share~ So nice to see Avery glad she joined you for the video.

I don’t have a green spatula,,,I have a white one, will that work?

[@maureenmckenna5220]

Love this. Thinking I could use broccoli too. Also wonder what other cheese would work. I am going to make this for sure. I love every recipe you prepare and I think this is so because you make it all seem simple and doable. Then there is the delicious factor. Love it.

How about casolett.?

[@thecleankitchen7898]

Yummy!

[@heatherlinton5057]

Kevin once you've cut the root off your leeks stand in water till they start throwing up regrowth then replant them😜👍

[@cealcat7063]

Probably good with panko also?

[@maxinejacobson4006]

A teaspoon of Dijon mustard added to the sauce is quite acceptable.

[@maxinejacobson4006]

Just wish I could find leeks here in Belize; they’re very hard to find.

[@adriaschumann9641]

What would happen if you put two beaten eggs in this recipe? I'm afraid to try, but it seems it might be good. I rely on your opinions in this regard. I hope you will make many more French dishes as I need to learn French cooking as my mother did it so well. I should have paid attention!

[@rosym6907]

Omg Avery is adorable, she’s not a best :(

[@marymauldin3229]

Do these taste like onions? I have heard they have a taste of liqurish candy.

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Hi Mary - Fennel has licorice (anise) taste. Leeks have mild onion taste that is uniquely delicious!

[@marymauldin3229]

Thank you. I will try these.

[@janetanne9413]

Dear Kevin All the leeks I find have sand down to the roots so I rince them in several bowls of water,eliminate the pre boiling. All that good leek flavor is leftin dish. SHAME ON AVERY
