Chef Patrick's Comment
Hello, I have a few concerns with this recipe: 1) I prefer using only the white parts of the leeks, I blanch the bacon before browning it, moreover it is really not easy to mix the eggs with the flour, in our kitchens, we make a well of flour mixed with yeast, we add the milk and beaten eggs in the center, then the gruyere and the white parts of the leeks, then we mix it all gradually by pulling the edges of flour towards the center.
