Flavour Cravers: Leek Frittata Recipe with chef Marie Mitchell

ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Cottage cheese is lower in calories and maintains a similar texture.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a lower-calorie option that adds a cheesy flavor.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is a more budget-friendly option with a neutral flavor.

fresh herbs

🥗Healthier: dried herbs

💰Cheaper: frozen herbs

Dried or frozen herbs can be more economical and still provide flavor.

Cut off the very end of the leeks and slice them into crescents.

Rinse the leeks thoroughly.

Cook the leeks in a skillet for about 15 to 20 minutes until they start to caramelize.

Crack the eggs into a bowl and add a pinch of salt to them, then combine well.

Add the caramelized leeks to the eggs and mix gently to combine evenly.

Add a little bit of cheese into the mixture.

Pour the mixture into a preheated oven.

Sprinkle a little more cheese on top before placing it in the oven.
