INGREDIENTS

• 8 small leeks, about 1 1/2 pounds
• 2 small or 1 large egg, beaten
• 5 oz fresh goat cheese
• 1/3 cup plain yogurt
• 2 oz Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 oz fresh white or brown bread crumbs
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350°F and butter a shallow ovenproof dish. Trim the leeks, cut a slit from top to bottom and rinse well under cold water.
• Place the leeks in a saucepan of water, bring to the boil and simmer gently for 6 to 8 minutes until just tender. Remove and drain well using a slotted spoon, and arrange in the prepared dish.
• Beat the eggs with the goat cheese, yogurt and half the Parmesan cheese, and season well with salt and pepper.
• Pour the cheese and yogurt mixture over the leeks. Mix the bread crumbs and remaining Parmesan cheese together and sprinkle over the sauce.
• Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is crisp and golden brown.
