    Fantastic. Like swmees I used one piece of bacon / leek. The only modification I did was to put the bacon pieces between the leeks before wrapping them in foil, then adding the balsamic with the goat cheese at the end. Gave em a little extra bacon flavour......!

    Delicious! Used 4 pieces of bacon, one for each leek, pan cooked bacon just enough to release the drippings, and then wrapped the semi-cooked bacon around the leeks when the two halves were combined after grill marks appeared. Encased leeks and bacon in foil and grilled for 7 more minutes on medium heat on the bottom grill rack to finish both leeks and bacon.

    Follow the recipe and you will have excellent results. I recommend removing the two outer layers of the leeks to get rid of the outside tough part.

    After tryin the original recipes and working on a few variations to elimate the toughness of the outside of the leek i'll say it is a great alternative to the traditional grilled vegetables. Only exception is if I were to serve to guests, I would only serve the more tender inner sections of the leeks. The outside leaves tend to be tough and stringy. Also, don't be shy trimming the top and bottom, and look for above average size leeks.

    The bacon grease makes the flavour great, but it adds some extra minutes that I really don't want in a vegetable side.

    This recipe is a great grill side dish! The leeks get cooked just right, and the flavor is yummy. We sprinkled with parmesan cheese instead of goat cheese.

    Make sure to watch the leeks when you first put them on the grill. A couple of mine got overdone, but were still delicious!
