2. Cut the potatoes 1 inch thick.
3. Cut the leek small.
4. Grate the pressed cheese.
5. Scramble the eggs. Salt and pepper them.
6. Mix them up with the leek and the pressed cheese.

11. Put the tray in the oven, at medium temperature for 20 min.
12. Take it out and sprinkle it with the oily water from the tray.

This tasty meal can be served as an appetizer or as the main course, if so you wish. Put some pickles aside, as they go very well together with all chicken breast recipes, not only with this particular one.
