Cheesy Leeks on Toast (2)
A divine combination of soft, sweated leeks, melted cheese and crusty bread from ” Hugh’s Three Good Things” by Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall. If you like you could add a smear of mustard to the toast or add a few thyme leaves to the leeks while they sweat. You can also use finely sliced red onions instead of the leeks, sweating them gently in butter for at least 20 minutes. Lightly fried mushrooms also work well instead of, or in addition to, the leeks.
