Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 medium leeks, whites and pale-green parts only, chopped
8 ounces crimini (baby bella) mushrooms, thinly sliced
12 large eggs
1/2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
3/4 cup shredded Fontina cheese, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place a rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 350°F. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10" nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add leeks; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until softened and all liquid has evaporated, 8-10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk eggs, crème fraîche, and parsley in a large bowl; mix in 1/2 cup cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the mushrooms, shaking the pan to evenly distribute mixture. Cook the frittata, without stirring, until its edges begin to set, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup cheese over eggs and transfer skillet to oven. Bake frittata until golden brown and center is set, 25-30 minutes.

Categories     Egg     Brunch     Bake

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp butter
1 finely chopped leek, white part only
1 cup sliced Crimini mushrooms
1/2 red beller pepper diced
S&P to taste
8 extra large eggs
Dash of tabasco
1/4 cup half & half
1 cup shredded Fontina cheese
1 large handful fresh baby arugula
1 tbsp grated romano

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425. In a 9" omelette pan or tarte tatin pan, saute the mushrooms, leeks, and red pepper in olive oil & butter, lightly seasoned with salt & pepper, until vegetables soften. Beat eggs with a pinch of salt, a dash of Tabasco, and half & half. Add the Fontina and arugula and stir to combine well. Pour over the vegetable mixture in pan and let set about two minutes. Sprinkle top with the grated Romano, and bake in preheated oven about 15 minutes, ior until puffed and lightly browned on top. Let sit about 5 minutes before cutting into wedges to serve.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality non-stick skillet: This will help to prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easier to flip.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too many ingredients, the frittata will be too thick and won't cook evenly.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat: This will help to prevent the bottom from burning while the top cooks through.
  • Don't flip the frittata too soon: Wait until the bottom is golden brown and the top is set before flipping.
  • Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature: It's delicious either way!

Conclusion:

The mushroom leek frittata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's perfect for a quick and easy meal, and it's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this frittata is a great recipe for beginner cooks and experienced chefs alike.
