Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the leek thoroughly to remove any dirt. Slice the white and light green parts into thin rounds.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy whipping cream until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
- Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips and cook until crispy, flipping occasionally. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
- Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Allow it to cool slightly before crumbling or chopping into bite-sized pieces. Reserve a tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet.
- In the same skillet with the reserved bacon fat, add the sliced leeks.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the crumbled bacon back into the skillet with the leeks and stir to combine.
- Pour the egg and cream mixture over the bacon and leeks. Tilt the skillet if necessary to make sure the eggs are evenly distributed.
- Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the top.
- Cook on the stovetop over medium heat until the edges start to set, about 3-4 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is golden and the center is just set.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your easy bacon and leek frittata with a side salad or some crusty bread!
Tips:
- Cook bacon strips over medium heat until they are crispy for the perfect texture.
- Make sure to clean the leek thoroughly as dirt can be trapped between the layers.
- Whisk the eggs and cream together until fully combined and slightly frothy for a fluffy frittata.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure a consistent cooking temperature.
- Use an oven-safe skillet to seamlessly transition from stovetop to oven.
- Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing to allow it to set properly.
This bacon and leek frittata is both simple to make and absolutely delectable. The harmony of crispy bacon, aromatic leeks, and sweet cherry tomatoes makes for a meal that's wholesome and satisfying. With these tips, you're well on your way to creating a frittata that is sure to impress, whether you're serving it to family, friends, or just treating yourself.
