INGREDIENTS

4 Leeks
250 g Lean ham slices
50 g Butter or margarine
50 g Plain flour
500 ml Milk
125 g Grated Swiss cheese; (or other)
2 tb Chopped parsley; (optional)
1/2 ts Grated nutmeg
1/4 ts Paprika
1 Egg yolk
1 Egg white
3 ts Lemon juice
Mashed potato; (optional)
Parmesan cheese
Breadcrumbs

INSTRUCTIONS

Trim the leeks, removing the leafy top and the bottom. Cut a cross into the
tops and plunge into cold water to remove any soil from the vegetable.
Simmer in water to cover along with 2 tsp lemon juice until the leeks are
cooked (about 30 minutes). Take care not to boil too agitatedly as the
leeks will break up.
Meanwhile, make cheese sauce by melting the butter in a medium pan then
stirring in the flour.
Allow to cook gently for 3 minutes.
Add the milk, a little at a time, stirring frequently.
Once thickened, add cheese, nutmeg, paprika and parsley (if using).
When cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth, remove from heat and stir
in the egg yolk.
Drain leeks well and allow to cool a little before assembling the dish. In
an ovenproof dish put a layer of mashed potato (if using).
Roll each leek in ham slices, cutting up the leeks into shorter lengths if
they are too long.
Place in the oven proof dish and top with half the sauce.
Beat egg whites with remaining teaspoon of lemon juice until peaks form.
Fold remaining sauce into the egg whites.
Pour over other cheese.
Sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese and a few breadcrumbs.
Cook in 190°C oven for 25 to 30 minutes until top is beautifully browned.
Leftover potential: Keeps two or three days in the refrigerator.
