How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2
Slice the leek into 3 even segments discarding the outer leaves and the tough base. Slice each segment in half lengthwise. Arrange the sliced leek halves tightly into a small oven proof dish. Dot with half the butter and transfer to the oven to bake for 10 minutes until just tender.
Step 3
Whilst the leeks are baking, melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan over a low/medium heat then add the cream cheese. Stir to combine until melted together.
Step 4
Add the cream, crumble in the feta and sprinkle in half the parmesan. Bring to a simmer and stir to combine. Cook gently until hot through, the cheese has melted and the sauce is thick and creamy.
Step 5
Pour the sauce over the part cooked leeks and sprinkle over the remaining parmesan. Return to the oven to bake for a further 12-15 minutes or until bubbling and golden on top.
