Sometimes in life, I want to roll leeks in ham, bury them under a béchamel sauce and then gratin it. You know, I like to eat light! A different dish that stands out! It is gentle on the tongue, it melts in the mouth and it will make your taste buds explode.

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
In a large saucepan filled with salted boiling water, cook leeks for 5 minutes. Remove from water, put in colander and let drain for about 5 minutes.
Gently cut in half lengthwise and place on a baking sheet, cut side up. Sprinkle with a thin stream of white wine and season with salt and pepper. Roll each piece of leek with a slice of ham and place in a baking dish. Set aside.
Prepare the béchamel : in a nonstick saucepan heated to medium heat, melt the butter and add the garlic. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring.
Add the flour and mix to form a roux. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring.
Add a little milk and whisk to remove chunks. Add the rest of the milk, the Italian spices then season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring, to thicken the sauce slightly.
Remove the sauce from the heat, add the mozzarella and mix for 2 minutes to melt. Pour the sauce over the leek/ham rolls.
Place in the oven and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, bury with Gruyère and return in the oven. Put the oven to BROIL and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese is golden on top! Let stand a few minutes before eating.

Our sommeliers suggest

Calvet Alsace Pinot Blanc

Alsace, France

This Alsace pinot blanc, with notes of apple and pear, is round in the mouth with a lovely freshness. Its roundness follows the béchamel and the melted Gruyère, while its freshness cuts through the fat of the ham and the cheese. The sweet, mild leeks are happy here. A comfort dish, with a wine that does its job without making a fuss! See the product

Arrakis, Brouhaha, 4.5%

Melted leek, ham and gratinéed béchamel: comforting and rich. The dune pepper brings lemon, herb and a conifer note that sharpen the seasoning of the gratin. Very dry and low in alcohol, this saison drinks in big gulps between bites. See the product
