Ready In: 25 mins
Serves: 1-2
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 leek, rinsed well and sliced thin (white part only)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leave
- kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 5 egg whites, uncooked
- 3 tablespoons pecorino cheese, grated
- 1⁄2 cup baby arugula (or 1/2 cup other salad green)
- 1⁄4 cup mizuna (or 1/4 cup other salad green)
- 1⁄2 lemon
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat a small skillet, over medium heat, and melt butter with 2 tablespoons olive oil until bubbling.
- Add leek and saute until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes; add thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook about 1 minute more.
- Meanwhile, whisk together egg whites and 2 tablespoons pecorino cheese; add to skillet and gently fold into leeks, to scramble, for 1 minute.
- Transfer to oven and bake until the center is set (check by gently shaking skillet), about 7 minutes; transfer to a place and sprinkle with remaining pecorino cheese.
