Leek, Potato and Ham Frittata with Parmigiano image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 leeks, white part only, cut into 1/4-inch dice
Kosher salt
3 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch dice
Pinch crushed red pepper
1/2 pound ham steak, cut into 1/2-inch dice
8 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano
2 cups mesclun mix or mixed greens
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

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!

LEEK, POTATO & GRUYERE FRITTATA



Leek, Potato & Gruyere Frittata image

Found this in a William Sonoma order book and looks so good I wanted to save it to try later. The recommend using a "frittata pan" that cooks on one side, then flips over to cook the second. But think I'll just place in a 350°F oven until done to cook the top. The combination of ingredients sounds too good to let this get lost. As an update, finally got around to making this and found it to have a nice, mild flavor. It was pretty easy too so that's a plus though I do feel I've had others with more taste that I might prefer. Think it may help to add something - maybe some bacon!!

LEEK, POTATO & SPINACH FRITTATA



Leek, Potato & Spinach Frittata image

This is such a quick and easy recipe. I often make it for my lunch and (instead of serving it up nice and round) serve it more as a hash - so it fits in my tupperware box! I make this with 2-3 eggs because I serve it more as a hash, but for a full-on frittata you could use as many as 4. If you prefer to have this as a hash then you don't need to bother grilling/broiling it - just mix everything up well and keep everything moving in the pan so it all cooks through properly.

  • While the potato is cooking, chop the leek and onion.
  • Put the leek, onion and par-boiled potato into a frying pan with 1 cal spray (or olive oil if you're not dieting!) and soften everything up for another 5 mins or so.

In the case of Whole Eggs, beat lightly before freezing. To freeze yolks, beat in either 1/8 teaspoons salt or 1 1/2 tsp . sugar or corn syrup per 1/4 cup egg yolks (about 4 yolks). For egg whites, you can freeze them as they are. For faster thawing and easier measuring, you can freeze eggs (after having followed the proper tips listed above) in an ice cube tray and then transfer them to a freezer container.
