Ingredientes

I'm not just thinking about what we're going to be eating on Christmas Day...I'm already planning what to do with the leftovers 😂

This is so creamy and SO deliciously rich and it's a great way to use up the Christmas ham and veg...OR have it as a Christmas Eve dinner!

I used cheddar cheese, but you could definitely add in any Christmas cheese that you have leftover - smokey, spicy, even stilton would work if you mix it with some regular cheddar.

I've written up the recipe below - Let me know what you think of this one! A x

3 Leeks thickly sliced (White and green parts)

250g brussel sprouts Rough ends removed and finely sliced

60g butter

50g plain flour

500ml milk

2 tsp dijon mustard

100g grated cheddar cheese (plus extra for the topping)

200g baked ham cut into small pieces

Salt and pepper

Instruções

Heat the oven to 200C

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large non-stick frying pan with a lid. Add the leeks and shredded sprouts and fry on a medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, placing the lid on in between stirs.

Place the leeks and sprouts in an ovenproof dish.

Melt the butter in the frying pan, then stir in the flour on a heat until it starts to bubble.

Slowly add the milk a little at a time, bringing to the boil before adding more and stirring continuously.

Stir in the mustard, grated cheese and ham. Season with salt and pepper.

Pour the cheese sauce over the veg and give it a good stir.

Top with grated cheese and bake in the oven for 30 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.
