CLASSIC HAM AND LEEK FRITTATA
A frittata is a classic Italian egg dish, similar to a French omelette or a quiche, which is typically enriched with meats, cheeses, and vegetables, and usually flavored with herbs. I love them. They are great for any meal of the day, hot or cold, and are the perfect brunch meal. There are an endless amount of frittata recipes, as they can be made out of any concoction of ingredients you can come up with. And I will admit, I've made better-tasting versions than this classic recipe I'm sharing today. But being a classic, I wanted to post this as an introduction to the delicious world of frittatas. Make it. It's good. And then build upon its basics to create your own delicious frittatas. Once you start, you will become addicted to them much like I am. Happy cooking... Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat until medium hot. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and melt until bubbling, swirling to coat the pan. Add the diced potato and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and beat with a whisk until the yolks are completely incorporated into the whites. Beat them longer than you would normal scrambled eggs, so as to incorporate more air into them. (The air helps the frittata to bake up light and fluffy.)
- Add the salt, pepper, thyme, and milk, and beat again until smooth and lightly frothy.
- Once the potatoes are browned, add the leek and ham, and sauté for several minutes, stirring occasionally, until the leek is soft. Remove from the heat and add the beaten eggs on top of the potatoes, leek, and ham.
- Top evenly with the grated cheese, then place the skillet in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve in sliced wedges with any garnish and/or accompaniment you would like (such as herbs, beans, sour cream, fruit, toast, crackers and jam, etc.).

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!
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.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh leeks, potatoes, and ham will give your frittata the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: You want them to be tender, but not mushy.
- Use a good quality cheese: Parmesan cheese is a classic choice for frittata, but you can also use other hard cheeses like cheddar or Gruyère.
- Cook the frittata over medium heat: This will help it cook evenly without burning.
- Don't flip the frittata: Frittata is a delicate dish, so it's best to cook it in the oven and not try to flip it.
