Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 medium leeks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the leeks thoroughly under running water to remove any grit. Slice them into thin rings, using the white and light green parts only.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
Add sliced leeks to the skillet and sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent them from browning.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Once the leeks are ready, spread them evenly across the skillet.
Pour the egg mixture over the leeks in the skillet, ensuring even coverage.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture.
Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop undisturbed for about 5 minutes until the edges begin to set.
Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed up and the center is just set.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
