Leeks with fondue are a delicious and creamy side dish, perfect for accompanying meats or fish. The fontina cheese fondue gives a rich and enveloping flavor to the leeks, making this dish irresistible. Try it and it will win you over.
Cut the fontina into small pieces and soak it in milk for a few hours (even better overnight)
Clean the leeks by removing the root, the green part, and the tougher outer leaves, then cut them into chunks
Place them in a baking dish, sprinkle with 20 g of butter in small pieces, grated nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste, and bake in a hot oven at 180 degrees for 50 minutes
Meanwhile, prepare the fondue
Melt the remaining butter in a double boiler, add the fontina and milk, and cook over high heat until the ingredients are well combined
Then add the egg yolks one at a time and continue cooking for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to obtain a rather thick mixture
Adjust the salt if necessary and pepper to taste
Serve the hot leeks with the prepared fondue
