I love this dish. I make it so often. It’s easy, comforting, pretty enough for company, and sturdy enough to be reheated. It’s breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It should be on your table.

The places you can use this are only limited by your imagination. Molly of Orangette wrote a wonderful article on Leek confit that you can read here.
