Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 medium leek (white and light green parts only), thinly sliced (about 4 to 5 ounces)

  • 1½ tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 6 large eggs

  • 2 tablespoons milk

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt (use less if using fine sea salt)

  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 2 ounces Garlic and Fine Herbs Boursin

  • Fresh chives, finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven.
    Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Whisk the eggs.
    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, kosher salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Set aside.
  3. Sauté the leeks.
    In an 8-inch oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the leeks and cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft and lightly sweet. Do not brown.
  4. Start on the stovetop.
    Pour the egg mixture over the leeks. Using a small rubber spatula, gently push the set edges toward the center as they cook, similar to soft scrambled eggs. Continue cooking until about halfway set. You should see soft egg curds forming while some loose, glossy egg still remains.
  5. Add the Boursin.
    Remove the skillet from heat. Crumble the Boursin evenly across the surface in small dollops. Do not stir.
  6. Finish in the oven.
    Transfer to the oven and bake 10 to 12 minutes until just set. A slight jiggle in the center is fine. Turn off the oven and let sit 2 to 3 minutes more if needed, until no visible raw egg remains.
  7. Rest and serve.
    Let rest about 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped chives and serve.

Notes

  • Do not brown the leeks.

  • Use an 8-inch oven-safe non-stick skillet for best height and texture.

  • If the eggs are more set on the stovetop, reduce oven time slightly. If less set, extend bake time as needed.

  • Boursin is salty, so taste before adding any extra salt.
