Breakfast Bake - Leeks, Smoked Salmon, Cheddar And (A Little) Cream Cheese

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375.

2. 2

   Wash the leeks - these are kind of tough to clean, because all the dirt from the ground gets in between the little sections. The easiest way to clean them is to lop off the green parts and the very end of the white parts, cut them in half lengthwise, and submerge them in water for a little bit, kind of flipping through the sections of them as if they were a deck of cards. This will loosen and release any dirt hiding in them.

3. 3

   Over medium heat, melt the butter. Chop the onion and the washed leeks, then add to the pan when butter is melted and cook until wilted, approx. 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add eggs, smoked salmon, cheddar, dill, milk, salt & pepper. Mix to combine well.

5. 5

   Lightly grease a larger pie pan or casserole dish (either with butter or cooking spray), then add the leek/onion mixture to form a base for the Breakfast Bake.

6. 6

   Add the egg mixture on top of the leeks, and kind of bang around the pan so the mixture gets in between the cracks of the leeks and onions, and combines with everything.

7. 7

   Remove from oven and let sit to cool for 15 minutes. Cut and serve. We had this with a Shaved Asparagus Salad, and it was a perfect little brunch.
