Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 5 strips thick-cut bacon, diced
  • 1 leek, top removed, rinsed, and thinly sliced
  • 10 eggs
  • 1/3 cup half and half
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
  • 4 oz boursin or herb goat cheese
  • 3 tablespoons chives, minced

Instructions

  • Preheat an oven to 375 F. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
  • Heat a 10 inch nonstick skillet over medium low heat. Add the diced bacon to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the fat is rendered. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat.
  • Increase the heat to medium and add the leeks. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the leeks are tender. Once the leeks are tender, pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Stir slightly to evenly distribute the leeks.
  • Sprinkle the top of the frittata with the crispy bacon and cheese. Transfer the skillet to the oven for 16-18 minutes, until the eggs are puffed and just barely jiggle. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes in the skillet.
  • Transfer the frittata to a plate, sprinkle with minced chives, and cut into wedges. Serve immediately.
