Creating Cheesy Baked Leeks is a straightforward process. Follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Leeks: Trim the roots and the tough green tops of the leeks. Cut them in half lengthwise and rinse thoroughly to remove any dirt.
3. Cut into Pieces: Slice the cleaned leeks into manageable pieces, about 2 inches long.
4. Sauté the Leeks: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.
5. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a bowl, combine the heavy cream, half of the shredded cheese, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
8. Combine: Add the sautéed leeks to the cream mixture and stir until well combined.
9. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
10. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese and grated Parmesan on top.
11. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
12. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
