Instructions
1. Wash the leek greens well, then cut them into chunks. Plunge them into boiling salted water for 5 to 7 minutes. They should be tender. Drain, let cool slightly, then squeeze between your hands to remove as much liquid as possible. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the cornstarch. Add the ricotta, cream, and whisk. Add 30 g of grated Parmesan, salt, a little grated nutmeg, and whisk. Add the leek greens, mix, and pour into a buttered or oiled gratin dish. Sprinkle with the remaining grated Parmesan.
3. Bake for 20 minutes, then increase the oven temperature to 210°C (410°F) and continue baking for 5 minutes. The gratin should be set and golden. Let it cool slightly before serving.
