I tried the recipe for leeks with Mornay sauce, and it's a true success, a pure delight! My guests loved it, and I recommend making this recipe.

Ingredients
 4 Leek
 Olive oil
 25 Whole milk
 25 Butter
 25 Type 55 flour
 50 Grated Emmental cheese
 1 Egg yolk
 Fine gray salt
 Freshly ground pepper
Directions
1

Preparation of leeks: Remove the first two layers of the leeks and the green ends. Cut the leeks in half down to the middle and rinse them under running water. Dry.

2

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

3

Preparation of the parchment Wrap 2 large rectangles of aluminum foil, overlapping them flat, and cover with a sheet of parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, season, and place the leeks on top. Close the parchment.

4

Baking Bake for 1 hour. When removing from the oven, let the leeks steam in their own moisture for a few more minutes to finish cooking.

5

Preparation of Mornay sauce In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the flour. Gradually pour in the cold milk and mix vigorously to avoid lumps. Let it cook for 3 minutes at a simmer. Add the grated cheese, mix, and then the egg yolk.

6

Remove the leeks from their wrapping, roll them up, and place them in a baking dish. Cover with Mornay sauce and bake for 10 minutes.
