I love a cheesy leek bake:

LEEK AND POTATO BAKE

225 g (1/2 lb) potatoes
2 medium leeks
250 ml single cream
2 medium eggs
One large handful of grated cheese and/or Breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper to taste

Peel and slice the potatoes. Clean the leeks by slicing then lengthways and fan them out under running water. Slice these also. Layer the potatoes and the leeks in a greased baking dish, sprinkling a little salt and pepper over each layer. Mix the cream and eggs together in a separate bowl. Pour over the ingredients in the baking dish. Sprinkle some cheese and/or breadcrumbs on top. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and the top is browned.

Answer 3

What about leek and brie rissotto.

Finely slice some leeks and a small onion, and fry gently in butter until softened. Add one cup of rice (not long grain but if you can't get rissotto rice then pudding rice will do) and stir until rice is coated. Have ready 1 1/2 litres of hot veg stock and gradually add whilst stirring all the time. Keep adding stock and stirring until all the stock has been absorbed. Slice a goodly amount of brie and lay over the top. Place under a grill for a couple of minutes to melt and then enjoy.
