Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound small round potatoes
10 large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup heavy cream
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh chives (from 1 bunch)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large leek (white and pale-green parts only), thinly sliced crosswise and washed well (about 1 cup)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in upper third. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, about 8 minutes. Drain potatoes, let cool, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
  • Whisk together eggs, milk, cream, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and chives until thoroughly combined. Melt butter in an oven-safe 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add leek and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until leek is softened and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add thyme and cook, stirring gently, 30 seconds.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Pour egg mixture into skillet and stir once; cook, undisturbed, until edge is set, about 2 minutes. Scatter potatoes evenly over egg mixture. Transfer skillet to oven. Bake until edge is puffed and golden brown in places and center is set, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

This is a great recipe for a vegetarian or vegan brunch. Simply omit the eggs and use a plant-based milk instead.

I'm not a big fan of leeks, but I loved this dish! The leeks were cooked perfectly and they added a nice subtle flavor to the egg bake.

This dish is perfect for a make-ahead breakfast or brunch. Simply prepare the egg bake the night before and bake it in the morning.
