Ingredients

• 3 large leeks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 90 grams all-purpose flour
• 60 grams rolled oats
• 50 grams hazelnuts
• 100 grams sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 120 milliliters double cream (or heavy cream)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Trim, clean, and slice the leeks into thin rounds, discarding the dark green tops.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened but not browned.

Step 4

Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet along with the thyme. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Transfer the leek mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Pour the cream over the leeks to create a rich base.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, and a pinch of salt. Cut the butter into small cubes and rub it into the flour mixture using your hands or a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Roughly chop the hazelnuts and mix them into the crumble topping along with the grated cheddar cheese.

Step 8

Spread the crumble topping evenly over the leeks in the baking dish.

Step 9

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this delicious Leek, Hazelnut, and Cheese Crumble as a comforting vegetarian dish or a flavorful side!
