Leek
Hot Leek & Basil Bread
Posted by Carole Koch
Cut 1-inch slices 3/4 way through a French baguette. Coat top, sides and slices with a mix of half melted butter and half olive oil. Sauté 2 cups chopped leeks in 1/4 cup butter/oil until tender, but not browned. Add 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, salt and pepper to taste, and a dash of red cayenne pepper. Spread on bread slices and on top. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F. for 5 to 8 minutes.
