GREEN TOMATO AND LEEK FRITTATA

Steps:

• Place sliced leeks in a large bowl of cold water, and let soak for 5 to 10 minutes to rid them of dirt and sand. Lift them out of the water, and pat dry.
• Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet with an ovenproof handle over medium-low heat. Add leeks and cook until golden, about 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; stir. Raise heat to medium, and cook until tomatoes are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool.
• Heat broiler. Place 4 whole eggs in a large bowl, and beat with a fork. Add leek-and-tomato mixture, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, Parmesan, and basil; mix to combine.
• Whisk egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gently fold whites into egg mixture.
• Heat butter in a medium nonstick skillet with an ovenproof handle over medium heat. As soon as butter begins to foam, but not brown, pour in egg mixture. Reduce heat to low, cover pan, and cook until eggs start to set and thicken but the surface is still runny, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove cover, and place skillet under the broiler. Broil until the top of the frittata is set, but not browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from broiler.
• Run a spatula under frittata to loosen it from the pan, and transfer to a serving dish. Cut into 6 wedges, and serve immediately, or let stand for up to 1 hour, and serve at room temperature.

Add the tomato and a pinch of salt and saute 2 minutes longer. Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus mixture and cook for a few minutes until the eggs start to set. Sprinkle with cheese. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the frittata is almost set but the top is still runny, about 2 minutes. Place the skillet under the broiler. Broil until the top is set and golden brown on top, about 5 minutes. Let the frittata stand 2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from skillet and slide the frittata onto a plate.

• Serve in skillet or carefully flip out of skillet, flipping again so it is right-side up. Garnish with parsley.

TOMATO, LEEK AND CHIVE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Leeks -- In a medium oven proof skillet add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the leeks, 1/2 the salt and 1/2 pepper and cook 4-5 minutes until soft. Then stir in the grape tomatoes. Cook 2 more minutes then transfer to a medium size bowl.
• NOTE: If you have a non stick oven proof pan, that is definitely the pan to use for this.
• Eggs -- In a medium size bowl, beat the 6 egg whites with the remaining salt and pepper to stiff peaks (I used a whisk by hand, but you could also use a hand mixer). Slowly fold in the egg yolks and fresh chives by hand. Remember, folding means to gently add the egg yolks, do NOT mix or stir.
• Fritatta -- In the skillet we cooked the leeks in, add the remaining olive oil. I like to either brush or wipe on the oil, but make sure the entire pan is coated well. Add the eggs and top with the leeks, tomatoes and then the goat cheese. Make sure to gently push the cheese and vegetables down with a spoon so the egg mixture covers everything.
• Cook -- On medium heat on the stove about 4 minutes until sides are set. Then transfer to the oven and bake 15 minutes at 350 until golden brown and a knife comes out clean in the center. You want the eggs set.
• Serve -- Let the fritatta rest 5 minutes before serving. Add a nice side salad or fresh fruit for a perfect light dinner. ENJOY!
