Mushroom and Leek Strudel image

This was devised to use up some leeks that were near "end of life" in the veggie bin, but could be done with just about any non-starchy vegetable, even already cooked ones. You can make it in advance, cool on a rack to prevent bottom from getting soggy, and freeze or reheat it.
