      Title: Creamed Leeks
 Categories: Vegetables, Dairy, Breads
      Yield: 4 servings

  3 1/2 lb Leeks; root ends trimmed
      2 c  Coarse fresh bread crumbs
    3/4 ts Salt
    3/8 ts Black pepper
      6 tb Unsalted butter
      1 c  Heavy cream

  SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: a 1 1/2 qt gratin or other shallow baking
  dish (10" X 8")

  Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to
  450Ä,F/232Ä,C.

  Cut each leek into an 8" length, measuring from root end,
  and halve lengthwise, then cut crosswise into roughly
  1-1/2" pieces. (You should have about 8 cups.) Wash leek
  pieces in a large bowl of cold water, agitating them, then
  lift out and transfer to another bowl. Repeat with clean
  water, then drain leeks well.

  Cook bread crumbs with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon
  pepper in 3 tablespoons butter in a 10" heavy skillet over
  moderate heat, stirring, until crisp and pale golden, 3 to
  4 minutes. Remove from heat.

  Cut out a round from parchment or wax paper to fit just
  in a 12" heavy skillet.

  Cook leeks with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4
  teaspoon pepper in remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a
  12-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat, leeks
  covered directly with parchment, stirring occasionally,
  until tender, about 12 minutes.

  Discard parchment and transfer leeks with a slotted spoon
  to gratin dish. Pour cream slowly over leeks, then scatter
  bread crumbs on top. Bake until cream is bubbling and
  slightly thickened and crumbs are golden brown, about 15
  minutes.

  COOKS' NOTES:

  Bread crumbs can be cooked 1 day ahead and cooled
  completely, uncovered, then kept in an airtight container
  at room temperature. Scatter bread crumbs over leeks just
  before baking.

  Leeks can be cooked and assembled in dish with cream (but
  not sprinkled with crumbs and baked) 1 day ahead and
  cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled, covered.
