As the mixture sets at the edges, with spatula, gently lift cooked portion to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.

- Loosen edges and slide fritatta onto a warm plate.
- To ovenproof handle, wrap with a double thickness of aluminum foil.
- FOOD HANDLING TIPS: Go ahead Freeze your eggs! Eggs (blended) can be kept in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 4 months. Here are simple tips to help you freeze your eggs properly. In the case of Whole Eggs, beat lightly before freezing. To freeze yolks, beat in either 1/8 teaspoons salt or 1 1/2 tsp . sugar or corn syrup per 1/4 cup egg yolks (about 4 yolks). For egg whites, you can freeze them as they are. For faster thawing and easier measuring, you can freeze eggs (after having followed the proper tips listed above) in an ice cube tray and then transfer them to a freezer container. It is important to note that although eggs can be frozen, they should not be frozen in their shell.
SWEET POTATO, LEEK AND FETTA FRITTATA
A simple and light dinner or lunch option, very forgiving and you can add pretty much anything. Just choose the herbs you have or like best. Great hot or cold with salad, as with a lot of things it often tastes better the next day. You could also use 8 eggs but I tend to lighten it up by taking yolks out of a couple and using a low fat fetta.

POTATO AND LEEK FRITTATA
I love frittatas cause they can be made several hours in advance and served later in the day, at room temperature - when I think they taste best.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Coat a 12-inch nonstick saute pan with 3/4 cup oil, add the leeks to the pan, season with salt and bring to a medium heat. Cook until the leeks are starting to soften and are very aromatic, 5 to 6 minutes. Toss in the potatoes, season with a little more salt and the crushed red pepper, about 3 minutes. Add the ham and the remaining 1/4 cup of oil. Cook, stirring occasionally to be sure the potatoes do not stick to the bottom of the pan, until the potatoes start to soften, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Meanwhile, beat the eggs with about 2 tablespoons water to a smooth consistency in a bowl, then add a heavy pinch of salt and half the grated cheese and beat together until the eggs and cheese are a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
- Using a colander or mesh strainer, carefully strain out the excess olive oil from the potato-leek mixture and reserve. Return the potato-leek mixture to the pan and stir in the eggs. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs start to cook around the outside edges of the pan. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the eggs are cooked through, about 18 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Place a snug fitting lid or a baking sheet on the pan, then hold the handle of the lid, swing the pan and flip the frittata onto the pan lid. Commit to it! It's fun! Slide the frittata onto a plate. You can serve this hot or at room temperature.
- Toss the mixed greens with the red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons of the reserved potato-leek oil and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Serve with slices of the frittata.
- You gotta break some eggs to make frittata!
Tips:
- Choose the right leeks. Look for leeks that are fresh and firm, with no signs of wilting or bruising. The white and light green parts of the leek are the most tender and flavorful, so use these parts for the frittata.
- Wash the leeks thoroughly. Leeks can be sandy, so it's important to wash them thoroughly before using them. Cut off the root end and the dark green leaves, then slice the leeks in half lengthwise. Rinse the leeks under cold water, separating the layers to remove any dirt or grit.
- Cook the leeks until they are soft. Sauté the leeks in a little olive oil over medium heat until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more tender in the frittata.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this frittata, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar, Parmesan, or Gruyère cheese would all be good choices.
- Don't overcook the frittata. The frittata is done when the eggs are set and the center is no longer runny. Overcooking the frittata will make it dry and tough.
Conclusion:
This leek and sweet potato frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make brunch or lunch recipe. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to use up your leeks and sweet potatoes, give this frittata a try. You won't be disappointed!
