Leeks with ham and béchamel recipe
Ham leeks with béchamel, a different version to change endives with ham, I particularly like this leek gratin with ham. Leeks and cheese a beautiful marriage for an evening dinner with the family, a small béchamel sauce, all well au gratin and it’s done. Leek is the vegetable of the whole year, of course it is even better when spring arrives. But it is present on market shelves all year round. It is also found in the gardens and there it is even better. Choose a quality cheese to brown this dish well, because the visual is important, I like to see my guests drooling in front of the dish…. I admit that I’m a little crazy, when I see the time I spend to receive my friends , but we do not remake ourselves.

Dry rosé and a little full-bodied, full of freshness, it had already appealed to us before tasting it with its label, full of fantasy, a real crush before tasting it.
