Preheat the oven.

Clean and slice the Lauch (leeks).

In a pan, sauté the Schinkenspeck (bacon) until crispy.

Add the Lauch to the pan and cook until softened.

In a bowl, mix Schlagsahne (cream), Milch (milk), Gemüsebrühe (vegetable broth), and season with Thymian (thyme) and Pfeffer (pepper).

Add the Blauschimmelkäse (blue cheese) to the mixture and stir until combined.

In a separate bowl, mix Speisestärke (cornstarch) with a little water to create a slurry, then add to the cheese mixture to thicken.

Combine the Lauch and bacon mixture with the cheese sauce and pour into a baking dish.

Top with geriebener Käse (grated cheese) and Semmelbrösel (breadcrumbs).

Bake in the oven until golden and bubbly.
