Simple, light & delicious: leek and Gruy<\/span>\u00e8re frittata<\/span><\/h1>\n

One of the best things about a frittata is how versatile it is. You can serve it up any time of day – breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner.<\/strong> This leek and Gruy\u00e8re frittata has relatively few ingredients and is simple to make. At the same time, the flavors create a decadent dish that you\u2019ll savor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients for the frittata<\/span><\/h3>\n

Eggs and unsweetened almond milk<\/span><\/h4>\n

To make the eggs fluffier, whisk in unsweetened almond milk instead of cream. This creates the desired effect but with much less fat and fewer calories than cream.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leeks<\/span><\/h4>\n

Since leeks are a featured ingredient, it\u2019s ideal to serve up this dish in springtime, when leeks are in peak season.\u00a0<\/strong>However, you should still be able to find leeks in your supermarket year-round.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leeks hold a lot of dirt, and thorough washing is important. The simplest way of ensuring you get all the dirt out is to slice them first, then rinse them afterwards using a colander.<\/strong> Pat them dry before adding them to the skillet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gruy\u00e8re<\/span><\/h4>\n

Gruy\u00e8re is a hard yellow cheese named after the Swiss town of Gruy\u00e8res<\/a>. The sweetness of the cheese pairs beautifully with the rich, onion-like flavor of the leek. A younger Gruy\u00e8re will have a creamy, nuttier flavor, while an aged Gruy\u00e8re will taste more earthy.<\/strong> Either will work well in this recipe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Baking your frittata<\/h3>\n

Once you have all your ingredients ready, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a\u00a0 large mixing bowl, where you’ve whisked the eggs together with almond milk, stir in salt and pepper to taste, then stir in Gruy\u00e8re.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, and c<\/span>ook the sliced leek for about five minutes or until lightly browned. Add garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Add leek and garlic to the egg mixture, then stir to combine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pour your egg mixture into an 8\u201dx8\u201d baking dish coated with cooking spray. <\/span>Bake for 25 minutes or until eggs are set in the middle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy your frittata! This makes about 6 servings, especially if you serve it alongside a mixed greens salad. If you serve it alone, your servings will need to be larger, so it may feed fewer people.<\/span><\/p>\n
