How to Make Apple And Leek Frittata

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs and 2 large egg whites.
  3. Heat 1 teaspoon of cooking spray in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup thinly sliced leeks and sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened.
  4. Add 1 cup diced apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji) and cook for another 3 minutes until tender.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves, chopped. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Spread the apple and leek mixture evenly across the bottom of the skillet.
  7. Pour the egg mixture over the filling, gently swirling to distribute evenly.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the frittata cool slightly in the skillet before slicing into 4 wedges.
  10. Garnish with extra sage leaves (optional) and serve warm or at room temperature.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
