Bruschetta With Leek: An Easy Recipe

Because everyone loves toast, especially the famous Italian bruschetta, we propose today a vegetarian variation of this famous specialty. Here is an easy recipe for leek bruschetta.

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients needed to make leek bruschetta for 4 people:

4 leeks
2 tablespoons of olive oil
4 large slices of country bread
4 extra-fresh eggs
2 tablespoons of fresh cream
50 g grated cheese
salt and pepper

Preparation

In this leek bruschetta recipe, the most time-consuming step is preparing the leek compote.

I recommend making it ahead of time and freezing it for future recipes.

1- Wash and sort the leeks carefully to remove all the sand.

2- Remove the hardest green leaves, then finely chop the white of the leeks and the soft green parts.

3- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the sliced leeks over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper.

4- Lower the heat and cover the pan. Let the leek stew for at least 30 minutes, adding a little water if the leek stew clings to the pan.

Assembly and cooking

1- Preheat your oven to 200°C.

2- Arrange the slices of country bread on a non-stick baking sheet.

3- Mix the leek compote with the fresh cream then spread this preparation on the bread.

4- Using a tablespoon, make a small hollow in the middle of the filling, then break an egg in this 'nest'. Add salt and pepper to the raw egg.
