I made half of the recipe for the two of us, but used a very large bay leaf which was nestled in between the leeks and mushrooms. Cut small slits in the veins of the bay leaf to release the essential oils. To the recipe I added crushed garlic, a wee bit of cayenne, freshly ground pepper and a salt substitute. We both thoroughly your dish! Served it with fresh veggies from the garden. Your delicious recipe will be made many times more! Thank you for sharing Teresa! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.

We liked this dish but wanted a little more flavor out of it. I just realized a minute ago that, although I cut the recipe in half, I used the WHOLE amount of flour! And my mistake made for a really thick bechamel that needed quite a bit of thinning, so maybe that reduced the amount of flavor. Next time, I'll try adding a bit of garlic or other seasoning, because we loved the mushrooms and the leeks!

So simple yet so delicious, the only change I made was instead of chives to garnish I finely sliced the green part of a spring onion and I scaled back for 1 serve and struggled to get through it all, thank you TeresaS made for For Your Consideration tag game on FF&FF.
