Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC/Fan 180ºC.

  3. Mix the passata, cream cheese and black pepper together in a bowl; and spoon over the leeks, spreading evenly.
  4. In a bowl, rub the spread into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Then mix in the oats and pour evenly over the leeks and passata.
