By Unblond1

28/12/16 - I liked this although it was rich and it's really 9 servings, not six, which I've corrected. Jury is still out though because Dan wasn't feeling well and didn't eat.

Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan, heat butter and oil over medium-high heat. Add leeks, mushrooms and carrots; cook and stir until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Stir in flour until blended. Gradually stir in milk and broth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in mustard, ham, parsley, nutmeg and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings.

Divide into three (four) portions, freezing two (three).

To serve, preheat oven to 425°. Divide mixture between individual ramekins and top with topping of choice.

Bake 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
