Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cups leeks (white and light green parts only, thinly sliced)
- 2 cups cremini mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in an oven-safe skillet (such as cast iron) over medium heat.
Add the sliced leeks to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until they start to soften.
Stir in the mushrooms and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Gently shake the pan to distribute the mixture evenly.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top of the egg mixture.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Remove the frittata from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for 3-5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
