"Plain fresh bread, its crust shatteringly crisp. Sweet cold butter. There is magic in the way they come together in your mouth to make a single perfect bite."--Ruth Reichl

Ingredients:  
4 large leeks (2 lbs)
salt and pepper
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup Land O LakesŪ Butter with Canola Oil
2 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped thyme
1 clove garlic, pressed or minced

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Set out either an 9x12 baking dish or six individual gratin dishes. Trim the dark green leaves and the roots off the leeks. Slice the leeks in half lengthwise, then rinse very well under running water, making sure you wash off any dirt or sand. Trim the leeks appropriately to fit the baking dish(es), then place the leeks in the dish cut-side up. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, then pour the cream over the leeks. Cover the dish tightly with foil, then bake for 50 minutes, until the leeks are mostly tender. In a small bowl, mix to combine the butter, parsley, thyme and garlic. Spread the butter all over the leeks, then sprinkle on the Gruyere and Parmesan cheese. Finally, sprinkle with the breadcrumbs. Bake, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese and cream are bubbling. Serve hot. Serves 6.
