Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line a 20 x 30cm roasting tin with baking parchment. Melt the butter in a frying pan and cook the leeks for 8-10 mins until soft, adding a splash of water if they start to stick, then tip into a bowl. Add the bacon to the pan and fry for 5 mins until crisp. Add to the leeks and leave to cool.

  • step 2

    Add remaining ingredients to the leeks and bacon, mix well and season. Pour into the lined roasting tin and cook for about 20-25 mins until set. Serve cut into squares with salad and crusty bread.

question

6 eggs really doesn’t seem like a lot for a main course for 6 people. I usually allow at least 2 per person for a family omelette. I am cooking for someone who doesn’t eat carbs in the evening so I will be serving this with only salad. Should I double the recipe?

question

And I only buy medium eggs, so is six enough?

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes 6 medium eggs is perfect. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

question

Can I substitute the cream for full fat milk?

I use reduced fat crème fraiche, works just fine and fewer calories.

Very very nice! I put more cream as the little container was just over 100ml. I used chestnut mushrooms as main ingredient with the leeks and just a little bit of bacon. Delicious!

I don’t have a metallic recipient, so I used a clay one. Your cooking time will be the double.

This is absolutely delicious and so easy. We had it warm for lunch with salad and home made bread with one square to spare which we sampled cold the next day. A much lighter texture when warm but we found that the flavour was accentuated when cold and a denser texture. Both equally delicious. Great…
