====== Leeks-with-cream-and-parmesan ======
I've made this for years, my own recipe probably straying from the original in Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. I decided to contribute it here because today, in order to use up a single sheet of leftover puff pastry, I made a modified version and it was SO DELICIOUS! Even more delicious than the original, and with less cream. 

===== Ingredients =====
  * leeks (white and light green parts, thoroughly washed)
  * cream
  * parmesan cheese
  * //optional: puff pastry!//

===== Directions =====
  - trim, wash, and slice the leeks into bite size or smaller pieces
  - steam the leeks to be fork tender
  - lightly grease a shallow baking dish with butter
  - put the leeks in, add cream, top with parmesan
  - bake until it //just barely starts to bubble//. It is still delicious if you let it boil in the oven, but less attractive since the cream separates. 

=== Puff Pastry Variaion ===
  - more generously grease the baking dish
  - lightly dust puff pastry with flour to make it possible to handle it
  - line the dish, leaving corners out to partly close the top
  - put a thin layer of parmesan in the bottom
  - before adding the leeks, mix in a small amount of cream, only 1-2 T, and some grated parmesan
  - salt & pepper to taste
  - put the leeks-cream-parmesan mixture in the pastry, fold the corner in to cover some of the top
  - bake at 400° until the puff pastry is puffy and browned
