Leek and Goat Cheese Frittata with Smoked Salmon

salmonfrittatafinal

This frittata is simply divine. Leeks are amazing and underused, so you should definitely try them if you havent before. They have a sweet, mild oniony flavour and are great with eggs, or in soups.

Simply cut the leek in half lengthwise and rinse under cold water(leeks are grown in sandy soil, so you need to rinse them):

Saute for a few minutes on medium heat, then add anything additional(I added some sliced mushrooms, garlic, and peas), and cook for another couple minutes.

At this point you should preheat the oven or broiler to about 200C

Right before you add the eggs, break the goat cheese into tiny little peices and sprinkle over the pan as evenly as possible.

Now add your eggs(that you have beaten and seasoned), and then any cheese you want to add, then turn heat to low and cook until the bottom is set. Place in your oven and cook until the top is golden and bubbly:
