Leek, Prosciutto and Goat Cheese Frittata image

An oven safe nonsrick 12-inch skillet is a must for this recipe. Because broilers vary so much in intensity, watch the frittata carefully as it cooks.

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 large eggs
3 tablespoons half-and-half
table salt
ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 small leeks, white and light green parts halved lengthwise, sliced thin
3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into 1/2 inch wide strip
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position, about 5 inches from heating element; heat broiler. Whisk eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoons pepper in medium bowl until well combinedm about 30 seconds. Set aside eggs.
  • Heat butter in 12-inch nonstick ovensafe skillet over medium heat until foaming subsides. Add leeks and 1/4 teaspoons salt; reduce heat to low and cook covered, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8-10 minutes. Stir prosciutto, basil, and half of goat cheese into eggs; add egg mixture to skillet and cook, using spatula to stir and scrape bottom of skillet, until large curds form and spatula begins to leave wake but eggs are still very wet, about 2 minutes. Shake skillet to distribute eggs evenly; cook without stirring for 30 seconds to let bottom set.
  • Distribute remaining goat cheese evenly over frittata. Slide skillet under broiler and broil until frittata has risen and surface is puffed and spotty brown, 3-4 minutes; when cut with a paring knife, eggs should be slightly wet and runny. Remove skillet from oven and let stand 5 minutes to finish cooking; using spatula, loosen from skillet and slide onto platter or cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve.

This is the best frittata recipe I've ever tried! It's so simple to make and always turns out perfectly. I love that I can use whatever vegetables I have on hand.

This frittata was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll drain the leeks better next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the prosciutto from this recipe. It was still very flavorful and satisfying.

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, so I used feta cheese instead. It was still very good!

I had to substitute spinach for the leeks because I didn't have any on hand. It turned out great! The spinach added a nice pop of color to the dish.

This frittata was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.
