Apple And Leek Frittata
I recently purchased “the new american plate” a wonderful cookbook filled with dishes with sophisticated flavors that are also healthful – lots of lean meats, grains and vegetables. This frittata is my own take on one of my brunch favorites – with autumnal flavors that give another reason to love sleepy sunday mornings. Though usually served hot for brunch or a light supper, it makes a great snack served at room temperature.
Steps
In a medium bowl , beat together the eggs and egg whites and set aside.
Coat a large skillet over medium heat with cooking spray and add leeks sauting for 1 or 2 minutes.
Add the apples and continue to cook until the apple is just tender , about 3 minutes.
Add sage to the pan.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the apple and leek filling evenly around the pan.
Add eggs and swirl so that each piece of the frittata will have an equal amount of egg and filling.
Reduce heat a bit and cover the pan , cooking 3-6 minutes until the eggs are set.
Cut the frittata into fours and ease the slices onto the serving plates.
Garnish with additional sage if desired.
