Number Of Ingredients 4

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

I'm not a fan of leeks, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The leeks were very mild and the cheese sauce was creamy and flavorful. I would definitely make this again.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The cheese sauce was very heavy and the breadcrumb topping was a bit too crispy. I would probably not make this again.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. The leeks were also a bit tough. I would probably not make this again.

This was a delicious and easy to make dish. I used Gruyère cheese instead of Parmesan, and it turned out great. The leeks were tender and flavorful, and the cheese sauce was rich and creamy. I served it with a side salad and it was a perfect meal.
