"I’ve made this frittata for brunch, of course, but it’s also great as breakfast-for-dinner with a salad and buttered baguette!"

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat to cool completely.
  2. Whisk the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add the sautéed leeks, spinach, asparagus, goat cheese, basil, Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix well.
  3. Spray a 9-inch nonstick cake pan or springform pan with cooking spray. Add the breadcrumbs and shake to evenly coat the pan. Pour the egg mixture into the pan.
  4. Bake until set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes.
  5. Invert the frittata onto a plate and then flip, right-side up, onto a serving plate or remove the sides of the springform pan and transfer to a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Cook’s Note

Precook your asparagus before adding it to a frittata: Cook for 1 minute in salted boiling water, then cool in ice water.
