Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • 1 cup sliced leek
  • 8 slices French bread, each 1/2 inch thick
  • 1 cup chopped cooked chicken or turkey
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill weed or 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 ounces)
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps

  • 1
    Melt butter in 1-quart saucepan over medium heat. Cook leeks in butter about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened; remove from heat.
  • 2
    Cut enough bread into 1-inch cubes to measure 5 cups. Mix bread cubes, leeks, chicken and dill weed. Spread bread mixture in ungreased square baking dish, 8x8x2 inches. Sprinkle with cheese. Mix remaining ingredients; pour over cheese. Cover tightly and refrigerate at least 4 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
  • 3
    Heat oven to 325°F. Uncover and bake 50 to 55 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Looking like a monster green onion or scallion, the leek is a relative of the onion and garlic family. Its flavor, however, is somewhat milder than its cousins'.
  • tip 2
    When you're looking for a leek, choose one that has a crisp, bright green top and blemish-free white bulb.
