Cooking steps

Cook the Chips
1
  • Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
  • Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm chips (peeling optional).
  • Pop the chips onto a large (lined) baking tray.
  • Drizzle with oil, season well with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.

TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

Fry the Leek
2
  • Trim the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice.
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, add the leek, muscat and season with pepper.
  • Cook the leek until softened, 4-6 mins, stirring occasionally.
Make the Sauce
3
  • Add 2 tbsp of butter (per 2P) to the pan.
  • Add 2 tbsp flour (per 2P), then cook for 2-3 min, stirring.
  • Reduce the heat and add 100ml milk (per 2P). Stir constantly with a whisk.
  • When the milk is completely absorbed, repeat with another 200ml milk (per 2P).
  • Increase the heat and cook gently for 3-4 min until the sauce thickens. Add three-quarters of the cheese and mix well.
Cook the Croques
4
  • Place half the bread slices on a lined baking tray then arrange the ham slices on top. 
  • Spread some of the leek sauce over the ham. 
  • Sandwich closed by placing the remaining bread slices on top. Top with the remaining leek sauce and scatter over the cheese.
  • Bake until the cheese has melted, 8-12 mins.
Assemble the Salad
5
  • In a salad bowl, mix the salad leaves with the balsamic glaze and a drizzle of oil.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. 
Cut and Serve
6
  • Cut the croques diagonally.
  • Divide between plates alongside the chips and salad.
