Recipe: Mushroom and Leek Frittata
I have never been a big lover of scrambled eggs – they are usually too plain for me. So when I cook eggs, I make frittatas, which are easy to make and have a wonderful flavor.
A frittata is perfect to make when you have friends over for brunch, which I quite often do. Stick it in the oven, and voila! You don’t even have to be in the kitchen while you are entertaining your friends, and the outcome is a beautiful egg dish. In fact, frittatas are so easy to make that you don’t even need a recipe, as long as you have some eggs and a few vegetables to sauté (or even just some herbs)
The photo in this post is of a frittata that was in the oven for a little longer than I intended, since my guests all arrived late. The frittata was still amazing, but I prefer cooking it a little less to create small pockets of melting cheese, which are fabulously mouth melting.
