Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 pcs eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup cooked artichoke hearts, chopped
  • 1 cup leeks, sliced (white and light green parts only)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (feta or mozzarella)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by chopping the leeks and artichoke hearts. Clean the leeks well under running water to remove any grit.
Sautéing
  1. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add sliced leeks and sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until they become translucent.
  3. Add the chopped artichoke hearts and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
Mixing
  1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Using a spatula, gently stir to combine, ensuring even distribution.
  3. Sprinkle your choice of shredded cheese over the top of the egg and vegetable mixture.
Cooking
  1. Let the frittata cook on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until the edges start to set.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is slightly golden.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Substitutions: Switch out the artichokes and leeks for other vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or cooked mushrooms. The key to a perfect frittata is patience; don’t rush cooking. Avoid overcooking to prevent a rubbery texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for a month. Reheat in a warm oven or microwave.
