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
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.
