Description

Indulge in a delicious Potato and Leek Frittata with Gruyere—a creamy, fluffy dish bursting with flavor, perfect for any meal of the day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 2 leeks
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for sautéing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a cast iron skillet or baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Peel and thinly slice the potatoes to about 1/8 inch thick. Boil in salted water for about five minutes until just tender. Drain well.
  3. In the preheated skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and sauté until softened, around five minutes.
  4. Fold the drained potatoes into the leeks in the skillet.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the potato-leek blend.
  6. Sprinkle shredded Gruyere cheese evenly over the top and gently stir to combine.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until puffed up and golden brown on top.
  8. Allow to cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
