Add crème fraîche, yolks, flour and parsley, crumble in half the chèvre, season to taste and stir to combine.

3.Heat remaining butter in a 25cm-diameter frying pan over medium heat until foaming, add egg mixture, shaking pan gently to level. Cook until base is golden (1-2 minutes), scatter remaining leek mixture and chèvre over one half of the omelette, then grill until light golden (1-2 minutes). Carefully slide onto a warm serving plate, folding in half as you go. Serve hot with toasted baguette slices.
