Ingredients
1 1/2 - 2 lbs leeks2 cloves garlic2 pats of butter1 tsp olive oil1/2 t. thyme1 cup grated reduced fat cheddar cheese1 cup reduced fat milk
Directions
Preheat over to 400. Trim the ends off of the leeks and rinse leaks well. Quarter them lengthwise then roughly chop them. Into a large pan over medium heat, add 2 pats of butter, 1 tsp olive oil and the garlic cloves. As the garlic begins to turn color, add thyme and leeks. Give a stir. Cook for 10 minutes until leeks have softened. Remove the pan from the heat and season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1 cup of low fat milk and half of the grated cheese. Mix and add into a baking dish that will give you about a one inch layer of leeks. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top and bake for 20 minutes until gold and bubbly.
