    Sephardic Leek and Cheese Casserole, This recipe I think is from Sephardic Flavors I really like it, it’s very close to a quiche but no crust We also add in both potato and zucchini We cut the salt that it calls for cause we think the cheese make it salty enough If you are new to cooking with leeks the best way that to clean them is soak them in water for a bit, the sand will fall to the bottom , I made this for the first time this past Friday for a Sephardic themed dinner It was relish!
