Earthy Roasted Leeks, Peppers and Shallots with Chaumes®
  • 6 large leeks (3 lbs.)
  • 9 mini sweet peppers, halved horizontally (or 2 medium red peppers, cut into large strips)
  • 3 large shallots, cut into 1/4" rings
  • 1/3 cup extra- virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. French grey salt or table salt
  • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 4 large fresh rosemary sprigs
  • 4 oz. Chaumes® cheese, cut into strips
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Trim leeks leaving root ends intact and leaving 1" greens. Cut leeks horizontally. Under running water, gently peel back layers to release dirt. Pat dry.
  2. In an extra large bowl, combine oil, salt and pepper. Using hands, rub leeks with oil. Place leeks in a single layer on a jellyroll pan covered with parchment paper. Continue with peppers and shallots by tossing in remaining oil. Tuck rosemary sprigs between vegetables. Roast 30 minutes.
  3. Top with cheese. Bake until cheese softens, about 1-2 minutes.
