Best Sephardic Leek And Cheese Casserole Recipes

SEPHARDIC LEEK AND CHEESE CASSEROLE

Sephardic Leek and Cheese Casserole image

This recipe I think is from Sephardic Flavors. I really like it, it's very close to a quiche but no crust. We also add in both potato and zucchini. We cut the salt that it calls for cause we think the cheese make it salty enough. If you are new to cooking with leeks the best way that to clean them is soak them in water for a bit, the sand will fall to the bottom.
