Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the 1 puff pastry sheet onto a baking tray and prick it all over with a fork.

  2. Step 2

    Trim and slice the 2 leeks into thin rounds. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the leeks with 0.5 tsp salt until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Spread the cooked leeks evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheese over the leeks.

  4. Step 4

    Top with 0.25 cup breadcrumbs. Bake until the pastry is golden and the cheese is bubbly, about 12-15 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Let cool for 2 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
