Fill a medium-sized saucepan with water and bring to a boil.
Wash the leeks and cut them into thin half moons. Peel and finely slice the garlic cloves.
Peel the kohlrabi and cut it into fairly thin slices. Cook the kohlrabi until al dente in the boiling water, then spread it over the bottom of a baking dish.
Heat a medium-sized frying pan over high heat and fry the bacon for a few minutes. Add the leeks and sauté for a further 5 minutes. Add the garlic for the final minute of cooking.
Spread the leek mixture over the kohlrabi.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. If the potato slices are on the thicker side, it is best to pre-cook them.
Layer the potato slices like roof tiles over the leeks. Mix 3 eggs with 100 ml of cream and 150 g of crème fraîche in a medium-sized bowl.
Season with salt and pepper and spread over the casserole.
Cut the half roll of goat cheese into thin slices and layer over the potato slices. Finish with a handful of grated cheese.
Bake the kohlrabi casserole until nicely golden brown and cooked through (around 40 minutes).
Serve sprinkled with a handful of chopped walnuts, and garnish with parsley if desired. Enjoy!
