Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Leeks
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 8 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the leeks lengthwise, then cut into thin half-moons. Wash thoroughly to remove any grit and pat dry.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced leeks to the skillet and sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the leeks become soft and slightly golden. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
While the leeks are cooking, crack 8 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 0.5 cup of heavy cream, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk vigorously until well combined and slightly frothy.
Stir in 0.5 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh chives into the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture over the cooked leeks in the skillet, ensuring it spreads out evenly.
Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for about 3-4 minutes until the edges start to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and the center is set. A slight jiggle in the center is fine as it will firm up as it cools.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh chives if desired.
