How to Make Leek Prosciutto And Goat Cheese Frittata

  1. Preheat your broiler and adjust the oven rack to the upper-middle position, approximately 5 inches from the heating element.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until light and frothy.
  3. Set the egg mixture aside.
  4. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 12-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add 1 cup of thinly sliced leeks and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped prosciutto and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil into the egg mixture. Gently fold in half of the 4 ounces of crumbled goat cheese.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the cooked leeks. Using a spatula, gently stir and scrape the bottom of the skillet until large curds begin to form and the eggs are still slightly wet, about 2 minutes.
  8. Gently shake the skillet to distribute the eggs evenly.
  9. Let the frittata cook undisturbed for 30 seconds to allow the bottom to set.
  10. Evenly distribute the remaining goat cheese over the top of the frittata.
  11. Carefully slide the skillet under the preheated broiler and broil for 3-4 minutes, or until the frittata has puffed up and the top is golden brown and slightly browned in spots.
  12. The eggs should be slightly wet and runny when tested with a paring knife. If not, reduce broiling time.
  13. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata stand for 5 minutes to allow it to finish cooking.
  14. Using a spatula, gently loosen the frittata from the skillet and slide it onto a serving platter or cutting board.
  15. Cut into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy!
