Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Step 2
In a large bowl soak the bread crumbs in the milk for 30 minutes, and set aside. In a skillet saute the leeks in 4 tablespoons of the butter for 5 minutes until soft. Add the salt, pepper, thyme and sage, stir well to combine, and set aside to cool.
- Step 3
In a large bowl whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. In another bowl, beat the yolks until they are light yellow and frothy. Add the yolks to the bread mixture, and stir well. Add the leeks, and stir well. Using a rubber spatula, fold the egg whites into the bread mixture.
- Step 4
Butter a 2-quart baking dish with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the bread mixture, and bake for 45 minutes until golden; serve immediately.
