Best 4 Leek Feta Frittata Recipes

MUSHROOM LEEK FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. While the oven is heating, mix all the ingredients together in a bowl except the butter. I add about 1/4 tsp of salt and just a pinch of pepper to the eggs.
• Using a non-stick skillet or well seasoned cast iron skillet, heat over medium-high heat and add the butter. When the butter melts, make sure that the whole interior of the pan is coated in the butter.
• Add the egg mixture to the hot pan. Allow it to cook on the stovetop for about 2 minutes or until the butter starts to bubble around the edges and you can see that the eggs are just starting to set.
• Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until set. Add some cheese to the top and broil for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve hot. Happy eating!

MINI ITALIAN FRITTATAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush a standard 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil, including the top of the pan.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large (12-inch) sauté pan. Add the leeks and sauté for 3 minutes, until tender. Add the prosciutto and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, breaking it up with a fork. Add the spinach, tossing with tongs, then cover the pan and cook for 3 minutes, tossing once while it cooks, until the spinach is all wilted. Off the heat, stir in the basil and lemon juice and set aside for 5 minutes. Divide the mixture with tongs among the 12 muffin cups, leaving any liquid behind. Sprinkle the Fontina evenly on top.
• In a 4-cup liquid measuring cup, beat the eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together with a fork. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the filling in each cup, filling the muffin cups to the top. Sprinkle each frittata with the Parmesan cheese.
• Bake the frittatas for 20 to 25 minutes, until puffed and lightly browned on top. If you insert a toothpick in the middle, they should feel firm. Cool for 5 minutes, remove with a small sharp knife onto a serving plate, and serve hot or warm.

FRITTATA WITH KASHA, LEEKS AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch, preferably nonstick skillet. Add leeks and cook, stirring, until they begin to wilt, about 3 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and continue to cook, stirring often, until leeks are soft and fragrant, 4 to 5 more minutes. Stir in baby spinach a handful at a time and turn up heat so that spinach wilts in liquid left on leaves after washing. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer contents of pan to a strainer and allow liquid to drip for 20 to 30 minutes, or longer. Rinse out and dry skillet and return to stove.
• Beat eggs in a large bowl. Stir in salt (I use 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, milk, kasha, leek and spinach mixture, dill, Aleppo pepper and feta.
• Heat remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in the 10-inch skillet. Hold your hand above it; it should feel hot. Drop a bit of egg into pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, pan is ready. Scrape in egg mixture. Swirl pan to distribute eggs and filling evenly over surface. Shake pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up edges of frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let eggs run underneath and form a few layers during first few minutes of cooking.
• Once a few layers of egg have set, turn heat down to very low, cover (use a pizza pan if you don't have a lid that will fit your skillet), and cook 10 minutes, shaking pan gently every once in a while. From time to time remove lid and loosen the bottom of the frittata with a spatula, tilting the pan, so that more egg runs underneath.
• . Meanwhile, heat broiler. Uncover pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for 1 to 3 minutes, watching very carefully to make sure top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown very slightly and puff under the broiler). Remove from heat, shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking, and allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes and for up to 15. Loosen edges with a wooden or heat-proof rubber spatula. Carefully slide frittata from pan onto a large round platter or plate. Cut into wedges or into smaller bite-size diamonds. Serve hot, warm, room temperature, or cold.
