Variation A very good recipe that reminds me of my childhood. My suggestion: It is possible to wrap each leek in a slice of ham. The recipe is no longer vegetarian, but it adds a nice flavor. -

An extra touch My suggestion: Add a stock cube to the cooking water of the leeks and nutmeg to the béchamel. Even better! -

And with some chicory? It was very, very good. My suggestion: Since I didn’t have enough leeks, I added some chicory, and it was delicious. Enjoy your meal. -
