Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 eggs
¼ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 cup packed spinach leaves, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup diced leek
¼ cup minced carrot
1 fresh cayenne peppers, chopped
1 cup cooked garbanzo beans, drained, thoroughly dried
⅔ cup diced tomatoes
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Whisk together eggs and cheese until creamy. Fold in spinach and set aside.
  • Heat oil over medium heat in an oven-proof skillet. Saute leek, carrot, and cayenne peppers until the leek is translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add chickpeas and tomatoes. Saute until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Add egg mixture to the skillet and cover.
  • Cook the mixture undisturbed until the edges of the frittata have firmed and slightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Replace the cover but watch every so often until the whole frittata has firmed except the very middle. Take care to keep the heat source on medium-low to avoid burning bottom of frittata.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Place the frittata under the broiler to firm and brown the top, 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Allow to cool before serving. Top with red pepper flakes if desired.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with an ice cold glass of milk!
