Lemon-Leek Fritatta

"Adapted from "Not Your Mother's Casseroles" by Faith Durand. This is equally good hot, room temperature, or cold. (To reheat, place in a 300F oven for 12-14 minutes.) I tried adding the lemon juice as well as the zest, and it was overwhelming; save the juice for another recipe."

directions

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add lemon zest. Crumble goat cheese and stir into eggs. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a 10" skillet (non-stick or cast iron). Add leeks and saute slowly, about 10 minutes, until limp and fragrant but not browned. Add parsley and stir until it wilts, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add contents of pan to egg mixture and stir.
  • Wipe out pan and add more oil. When shimmering, add egg mixture to pan and set over medium heat. Cook 10-15 minutes until bottom is set. From time to time, pull edge of fritatta away from side of pan and tilt to let liquid egg run underneath.
  • When everything looks mostly set, place pan under hot broiler for 3-5 minutes, until top is puffed and brown. Let stand 5 minutes. Loosen edges with a spatula and invert onto a serving platter. Cut into 4-6 wedges and serve.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
