simple recipe
Wash the leek thoroughly, cut off the root end, and remove the outermost layer. Cut the white to light green part into slices approximately 1 to 1.5 cm thick. Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil, allowing the leek to simmer for about 10 minutes until al dente, just covered. Then drain the water so that the bottom of the pot is still covered. Stir in the room-temperature butter, a pinch of nutmeg, and pepper to taste. Dissolve a teaspoon of flour in a cup of lukewarm water and add it with the breadcrumbs. The small amount of flour means there is no strong or over-tasting flavor. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the egg; do not overheat it so that the egg does not curdle. Season to taste if desired. This goes well with potatoes and meat, for example.
