Ingredients

  • Step 1

    Cook the potatoes in large pan of boiling salted water for 15 mins or until tender. Drain, then mash with 1 tbsp butter and 50ml milk.

  • Step 2

    Meanwhile, gently fry the leeks in a pan with the olive oil for 15 mins or until soft. Stir into the mash with a little grind of black pepper.

  • Step 3

    Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas 5. In a saucepan, melt the remaining 1tbsp butter until fizzing, then stir in the flour and cook for 1 min. Slowly whisk in the remaining 300ml milk to make a smooth sauce. Stir in the nutmeg and cheese until melted.

  • Step 4

    Spread the leek and potato mash over the base of a 26 cm x 18 cm baking dish. Carefully arrange the sliced egg on top, then cover with the cheese sauce. Pop in the oven and bake for 25-30 mins until bubbling and golden. Put the sausages in a roasting tin and cook alongside the bake until cooked through.
