The method

Slice your bread into 2cm slices. Place into a hot oven for 5-8 minutes to crisp up. In the meantime, slice your leeks.

2

Melt the butter over a medium heat and add the leeks. Cook for a couple of minutes until they are soft.

3

Stir in the mustard powder and flour, it should become very thick. Then add in the milk, constantly stirring to make a thick sauce. Continue to cook the sauce for a few minutes.

Stir in your chosen cheese until melted and season to your liking.

Spoon the leek mixture onto your bread, brown under the grill and serve. Enjoy!
