Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 2 medium leeks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Clean the leeks thoroughly under running water to remove any grit. Slice them into thin rings, using the white and light green parts only.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.

Step 4

Add sliced leeks to the skillet and sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent them from browning.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Once the leeks are ready, spread them evenly across the skillet.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the leeks in the skillet, ensuring even coverage.

Step 8

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture.

Step 9

Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop undisturbed for about 5 minutes until the edges begin to set.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed up and the center is just set.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
