A frittata is a versatile Italian egg-based dish, similar to an omelette or a crustless quiche. This Spinach, Potato, and Leek Frittata combines the earthy flavors of leeks and potatoes with the freshness of spinach and the creaminess of provolone cheese. It's a perfect dish for any meal of the day and can be enjoyed both warm and cold.
Instructions:
- If not already done, peel, cook, and dice the potatoes. Precook them in salted water until they are tender, then set aside.
- Clean the leeks thoroughly and slice them thinly.
- Wash the spinach and let it drain or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced leeks to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until they become softened and slightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the spinach to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the spinach has wilted. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, basil, salt, pepper, and eggs until well combined.
- Stir in the diced cooked potatoes and the cooked spinach and leeks mixture until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Spray the skillet with a short burst of cooking spray oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the skillet, ensuring the ingredients are evenly spread.
- Sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly over the top of the frittata.
- Spread the provolone cheese evenly over the top.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and golden brown on top.
6. Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm.
Tips:
- Make sure to clean the leek thoroughly to remove any hidden dirt or sand.
- You can use leftover cooked potatoes to save time.
- Feel free to substitute provolone cheese with another melting cheese like mozzarella or cheddar.
- For a dairy-free version, you can use a plant-based milk and omit the cheese.
- If you don’t have fresh spinach, frozen spinach can be used—just make sure to thaw and drain it well.
- To ensure even cooking, use an oven-safe skillet and transfer it to the oven for the final cooking stage.
