Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Makes: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 5 strips thick-cut bacon, diced
- 1 leek, top removed, rinsed, and thinly sliced
- 10 eggs
- 1/3 cup half and half
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
- 4 oz boursin or herb goat cheese
- 3 tablespoons chives, minced
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 375 F. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat a 10 inch nonstick skillet over medium low heat. Add the diced bacon to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the fat is rendered. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat.
- Increase the heat to medium and add the leeks. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the leeks are tender. Once the leeks are tender, pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Stir slightly to evenly distribute the leeks.
- Sprinkle the top of the frittata with the crispy bacon and cheese. Transfer the skillet to the oven for 16-18 minutes, until the eggs are puffed and just barely jiggle. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes in the skillet.
- Transfer the frittata to a plate, sprinkle with minced chives, and cut into wedges. Serve immediately.
