Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
2 leeks, finely chopped
12 ounces fresh spinach, washed and chopped or 5 ounces thawed frozen chopped spinach, squeezed dry
12 eggs

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large, shallow pan that can be used under the broiler.
  • Add the leeks and fry them gently for about 5 minutes, until they are just beginning to soften.
  • If using fresh spinach, add it to the pan containing the leeks and cook for 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat, until spinach has just wilted.
  • Beat the eggs with a whisk, in a large bowl.
  • Add the leek and spinach mixture (or the leeks with the thawed frozen spinach), then stir in the scallions, with all the herbs and nuts.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the mixture into the pan and cover with a lid or foil.
  • Cook over very gently heat for 25 minutes, or until set.
