I've finally gotten a chance to make this so I want to revise my description and add some information. Delish! this is a relatively easy recipe that can be eaten for pretty much any meal of the day. It would make a lovely addition to a brunch buffet as well as a nice light supper with a salad. I've made this recipe using half egg beaters and half real eggs, and I've also substituted 1/3 C grated parmesan or locatelli instead of cheddar... either way it turns out terriffic

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups sliced leeks, white and light-green parts only (about 1 1/2 pounds whole leeks)
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 medium green tomatoes (about 9 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 large eggs
2 large egg whites
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces
1 teaspoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Place sliced leeks in a large bowl of cold water, and let soak for 5 to 10 minutes to rid them of dirt and sand. Lift them out of the water, and pat dry.
  • Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet with an ovenproof handle over medium-low heat. Add leeks and cook until golden, about 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; stir. Raise heat to medium, and cook until tomatoes are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool.
  • Heat broiler. Place 4 whole eggs in a large bowl, and beat with a fork. Add leek-and-tomato mixture, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, Parmesan, and basil; mix to combine.
  • Whisk egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gently fold whites into egg mixture.
  • Heat butter in a medium nonstick skillet with an ovenproof handle over medium heat. As soon as butter begins to foam, but not brown, pour in egg mixture. Reduce heat to low, cover pan, and cook until eggs start to set and thicken but the surface is still runny, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Remove cover, and place skillet under the broiler. Broil until the top of the frittata is set, but not browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from broiler.
  • Run a spatula under frittata to loosen it from the pan, and transfer to a serving dish. Cut into 6 wedges, and serve immediately, or let stand for up to 1 hour, and serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Prep your vegetables in advance: Dicing the tomatoes, leeks, and chives can be done ahead of time to save time during the cooking process.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: This will help prevent the frittata from sticking and breaking apart.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you're using a smaller skillet, cook the frittata in batches or use a larger skillet to accommodate all of the ingredients.
  • Cook the frittata over medium-low heat: This will help it cook evenly without burning.
  • Don't flip the frittata: Unlike other egg dishes, frittatas are not flipped during cooking. Instead, they are cooked slowly and gently until set.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before serving: This will help it hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
