When you live in Canada, especially on the
East Coast, the transition between Winter and Spring can go on for a long time. Similarly, I also sit on the fence for awhile craving barbecue season but missing the
soul-nurturing stews and root vegetables of colder days.
Luckily the most versatile vegetable is
always in season – the potato. Potatoes are the ultimate bridge between seasons
and the forever dependable meal-makers. Pair potatoes with seasonal vegetables
and any dish can get a spring makeover.
Equally as flexible, the frittata (an Italian omelette) can be
served any time of day and has infinite variations. Cavendish
Farms Simply Homestyle Golden Harvest Wedges save me time and add texture and
flavour to this Potato and Leek frittata recipe. Serve the frittata alongside a
salad and you have the perfect light spring meal!
Simply
Homestyle Golden Harvest Wedges & Leek Frittata
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
·
1/2 package Cavendish
Farms Simply Homestyle Golden Harvest Wedges, baked according to package
directions
·
2 tablespoon
extra-virgin olive oil or butter
·
2 leeks (white and
light-green parts only),washed well and thinly sliced
·
10 large eggs
·
1/3 cup heavy cream or
whole milk
·
Salt & pepper, to
taste
·
½ cup shredded cheese (I
used gruyere. Fontina or cheddar would taste great as well)
·
1 tablespoon parsley,
finely chopped for garnish
Directions:
1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2.
In an ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add leeks
and sauté until soft and translucent (about 8 minutes). Season with salt and
pepper and evenly distribute cooked potatoes along the bottom of the skillet.
3.
Lightly whisk eggs, cream, and salt and pepper until just blended.
4.
Add eggs to skillet. Do not stir and cook until eggs are just set.
5.
Top with cheese and transfer skillet to oven. Bake until the
frittata is somewhat puffed and edges are a golden colour (about 10 minutes).
6.
Remove from oven, garnish with parsley, and cut into 6 wedges.
7.
Serve and enjoy!
TIP: To
thoroughly clean dirt and sand hiding in-between layers of leeks, fan open and
place under cold running water.
