Instructions:

- Clean the leeks thoroughly and slice them.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- In a large oven-proof skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the brown sugar and cook for about 1 minute until it dissolves.
- Add the leeks and garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the leeks are soft and translucent.
- Add the cubed pumpkin and sweet potatoes. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy whipping cream until well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables in the skillet.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and golden brown on top.
- Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm, accompanied by mixed greens or your favorite salad mix.
Tips:
- Make sure to thoroughly clean the leeks to remove any dirt or grit trapped between the layers.
- Cut the pumpkin and sweet potatoes into uniform, small pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- Pre-cook the pumpkin and sweet potatoes by roasting or steaming until tender before adding them to the frittata mixture.
- Whisk the eggs well to ensure a light and fluffy texture in the frittata.
- Use a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast-iron pan to prevent sticking.
- Don't overcook the frittata – bake just until the eggs are set but still slightly soft in the center.
- Allow the frittata to cool slightly before slicing to help it hold its shape better.
- Feel free to customize this recipe by adding your favorite herbs or substituting different types of cheese.
