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!!

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 ounces small red potatoes, sliced 1/8-inch thick
1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
2 leeks, white and light green portions, rinsed well and thinly sliced
5 eggs
3 tablespoons heavy cream
2 ounces gruyere cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • In deep pan over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
  • Add potatoes, salt and pepper.
  • Cover with lid (or shallow pan if you have a frittata pan) cook, flipping potatoes occasionally, about 8 minutes.
  • Transfer to bowl.
  • In in same deep pan, over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Add leeks, salt and pepper.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to separate bowl.
  • In another bowl, whisk eggs and cream. Stir in cheese, parsley, potatoes, salt, pepper and all but 2 tablespoons of leeks.
  • Set pan over medium heat; melt 1/2 tablespoon butter. Add egg mixture; cook until just beginning to set, about 4 minutes. Using rubber spatula left cooked edges and allow uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
  • At this point place in oven at 350°F and cook until eggs are set, about 4 to 6 minutes. (If you have the frittata pan can cover with smaller pan & flip over).
  • Shake pan to loosen frittata, slide unto plate. Garnish with reserved leeks.

The frittata was a little dry. I think I should have used more milk or cream.

This frittata was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with some additional herbs or spices.

I love this frittata! It's so easy to make and always turns out perfectly. I usually add some chopped spinach or kale to it for extra veggies.

This frittata was easy to make and very tasty. I used a combination of sharp and mild cheddar cheese, and it was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this frittata for brunch and it was delicious! The leeks and potatoes added a nice savory flavor, and the Gruyère cheese melted perfectly. I would definitely make this again.

This frittata was a hit with my family! The combination of leeks, potatoes, and Gruyère cheese was perfect, and the eggs were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
