- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a 7-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with 2 tablespoons olive oil and cook until bubbling. Add the leek and sauté until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 1 more minute.

Tips:
- Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easier to flip.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat: This will help the frittata cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too many ingredients, the frittata will be too thick and won't cook properly.
- Cook the frittata for 10-12 minutes per side: This will ensure that it is cooked through.
- Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before serving: This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
