How To Make cheesy leeks

Step 1

Wash leeks thoroughly and then slice them diagonally, about ½-inch thick. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of oil, the butter, thyme and garlic over medium heat. As mixture begins to bubble, add leeks and simmer uncovered for about 35 minutes.
Step 3

Add salt and pepper to taste. Transfer mixture into a baking dish. Stir in the cream and a splash of water. Sprinkle the cheddar and parmesan on top and then add the cubed brie on top of all.
Step 4

Place in a preheated 350º oven for 20 minutes or until golden and cheese is melted.
