Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole leeks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Trim the ends of the leeks, then slice them in half lengthwise. Rinse well to remove any dirt, and slice into thin half-moons.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and slightly caramelized. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Crumble the feta cheese into the egg mixture, then stir in the cooked leeks and chopped parsley.
Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium heat, and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Let it cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Slice into wedges, serve warm, and enjoy!
