How to Make Leek Croustade
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add sliced leeks and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in milk until smooth and bring to a simmer, stirring continuously until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in most of the cheddar cheese (reserve some for topping). Season with salt and pepper.
- Roll out puff pastry slightly larger than a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer to the dish and trim the edges.
- Pour the leek and cheese mixture into the pastry crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
