A mixture of leeks and bacon cooked with white wine and just a touch of cream creates a satisfying winter main course. Using a pre-baked pizza crust makes this recipe quick to prepare.
Method
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Trim leeks, leaving some of the light green tops.
Split them lengthwise and cut crosswise into thin slices.
Rinse well.
In a medium pan over low heat, cook bacon slowly, until cooked but not fully crisp, making sure that the heat is not too high to avoid browning, about 10 minutes.
Remove bacon and set aside.
Pour off bacon fat, leaving 1 tablespoon in the pan.
Add leeks and cook over medium heat until just translucent, about 4 minutes.
Add white wine and cook until liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 8 minutes.
Season lightly with salt (as the bacon will have salt already) and pepper.
Add bacon and cream to leeks.
Stir to combine and remove from heat.
Place pizza crust on a pizza pan or baking stone.
Spread leek and bacon mixture evenly over the crust.
Bake until topping is hot and crust is crisp, 12 to 15 minutes.
Slice and serve immediately.
