Broiled Leeks with Buttered Bread Crumbs

  • 3 Medium Leeks, or about 1 & 1/2 lbs. – Produce
  • 2 Tbsp. Horizon Organic Unsalted Butter – Aisle 1 Refrigeration
  • 3 Tbsp. Ian’s Whole Wheat Panko Breadcrumbs – Aisle 3

Trim leeks and discard most of dark-green parts. Cut leeks in half lengthwise and wash well, keeping halves intact. Steam leeks for 15 minutes or until tender. Arrange leeks with cut sides up, on a buttered baking sheet. Preheat broiler. In a small saucepan, melt butter and stir in bread crumbs, salt and pepper to taste. Spoon bread crumbs mixture onto leeks, patting down mixture with back of a spoon to help adhere. Broil leeks 2-3 inches from heat until bread crumbs are golden brown (about 3 minutes). Serve as a side dish
