Melt half the butter in a pan and cook the leeks for 8 minutes until soft. Add the gammon and cook for 3 minutes. Tip into a bowl.

In the same pan melt the rest of the butter, stir in the flour for 1 minute, then whisk in the milk and simmer for 4 minutes until thick. Stir in the mustard and half the cheese.
4 min - 4
Mix the sauce with the gammon and leeks and spoon into a baking dish. Pepper well, salt only lightly, as gammon is salty.
