BAKED LEEKS

Recipe-Ingrediants

I've returned from the village, and my dad made sure that my basket was full of vegetables, eggs, oil, wine, cheese, etc. I have plenty of leeks, so I'm thinking of making a super tasty recipe with them. Baked leeks, with mushrooms and plenty of cheese.

For this recipe, we will need:

4-5 cleaned, washed, and halved leeks

Half a bunch of dill

2 eggs

1 cup grated feta cheese

150g white wine

150g sliced agaricus mushrooms

Salt and pepper

We saute the leeks together with the mushrooms. We deglaze with the wine and let them cook for a while. Then we set it aside and add the feta cheese and eggs after beating them.

We spread the mixture in our baking dish.

For the topping, I prefer to use a yogurt bechamel because I believe it goes better with the leeks and cheese, and it's lighter.

For the yogurt bechamel:

1 kilogram of yogurt

3 eggs

150g grated kefalotyri cheese

Salt, pepper, nutmeg

We put the yogurt in a bowl, add the eggs, the kefalotyri cheese (keeping some for sprinkling on top to create a crust). We beat everything together and pour it over the filling. We then place it in a preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.

For creamy bechamel sauce lovers, here are the ingredients:

100g butter

80g all-purpose flour

800g milk

80g grated kefalotyri cheese

Salt, pepper, nutmeg

Directions

We put the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and let it melt. Once the butter has melted, we add the flour and quickly stir with a whisk to prevent lumps. When it forms a thick mixture (similar to a puree), we add the milk and stir until it becomes a velvety cream. We season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

We pour the bechamel sauce over the filling and sprinkle some kefalotyri cheese on top for a crust. Then we place it in a preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
