Wash the leeks and remove the outer leaves if necessary. Trim both ends and cut the leeks into portions. For 2 large leeks I cut them in half.
Place the leeks in a pan of boiling water and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until tender.
Turn off the heat and leave them in the water to keep warm.
Put the milk, butter, flour and seasoning in a small saucepan.
Use the whisk to mix in the flour then turn on to a medium heat.
Keep whisking continually as the butter melts and the mixture thickens.
Turn the heat down and let it cook for a minute to cook the flour. Check the seasoning and add the grated nutmeg.
Drain the leeks thoroughly and place them in a serving dish covered with foil.
Gently reheat the sauce and pour over the leeks.
Scatter the cooked bacon over the top and serve.
