Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized leeks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 large eggs
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare the leeks by trimming, halving lengthwise, and washing thoroughly to remove any dirt.

Step 3

Slice the clean leeks into 1/4 inch rounds.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the sliced leeks and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and lightly golden.

Step 6

While the leeks are cooking, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until well combined.

Step 7

Stir in the Parmesan cheese, shredded cheddar, and chopped parsley into the egg mixture.

Step 8

Once the leeks are done, evenly distribute them in the skillet and pour the egg mixture over the top.

Step 9

Gently stir to combine the leeks with the egg mixture being careful not to disturb the base layer.

Step 10

Cook on the stovetop for about 5 minutes until the edges start to set.

Step 11

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is slightly golden.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Serve warm, sprinkled with extra parsley if desired.
