2 tsp brown sugar
6g
2 leeks
360g
2 garlic cloves
6g
4 cups pumpkin
480g
3 sweet potatos
600g
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
120g
6 eggs
300g
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
20g
1.50 cups mixed greens (or salad mix)
100g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Vegetables:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel and cube the pumpkin and sweet potatoes.
- Clean the leeks thoroughly and slice them.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
2. Cook the Vegetables:
- 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.
3. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy whipping cream until well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Combine and Cook:
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables in the skillet.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
5. Bake:
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and golden brown on top.
6. Serve:
- 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.

There you have it – a delicious and hearty Leek, Pumpkin & Sweet Potato Frittata that is sure to impress your family and friends.
