Frittata with Spinach, Potatoes, and Leeks

DHalaby73

Make the leek mixture and cook the potatoes a day ahead. Or use store-bought diced cooked potatoes (such as Simply Potatoes), whisk the eggs, combine everything, and bake the morning of the brunch.

YIELD: 6 servings (serving size: 1 wedge)
COURSE: Breakfast/Brunch, Main Dishes

Ingredients

1 teaspoon butter
2 cups thinly sliced leek (about 2 large)
1 (10-ounce) package fresh spinach
1/3 cup fat-free milk
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 large eggs

2 cups cooked, peeled red potato (about 3/4 pound)

1 1/2 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded provolone cheese

Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leek; sauté 4 minutes. Add spinach; sauté 2 minutes or until spinach wilts. Place mixture in a colander, pressing until barely moist.

Combine milk, basil, salt, pepper, eggs, and egg whites; stir well with a whisk. Add leek mixture and potato. Pour into a 10-inch round ceramic baking dish or pie plate coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and top with cheese. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until center is set.

mmm, I'm going to try this one! Just saved it :happy: Thanks!!!!

::edit:: Also, I bet you could make this in a large cast-iron skillet. Saute the potatoes til soft, add leek, then spinach, then your egg/spice mixture and throw the whole thing in the oven. Easy one-dish breakfast or brunch.

Alongside those cornmeal jam muffins somebody posted earlier... omg... i'm so hungry for this now..!
