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.

  • 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).
