Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 8 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons grated parmesan
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and sliced into thin discs about ¼-inch thick
  • olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 stalks of leeks, chopped
  • ½ cup of shredded mozzarella
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Layer the potato slices on the baking sheet. Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, dried basil, and garlic powder. Bake potatoes in oven until they're just tender.
  4. Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, parmesan, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Set aside.
  5. Cook bacon in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring, until crisp. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to a large bowl then pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat.
  6. Add the chopped leeks and sauté over medium-high heat until soft, about 3 minutes.
  7. Transfer the sauteed leeks into a small bowl.
  8. Gently layer some of the potatoes onto your skillet, then top with leeks, bacon and shredded mozzarella. Repeat for a second layer of potatoes and use up the leeks and bacon, but keep some shredded cheese aside.
  9. Pour egg mixture evenly over vegetables and cook over medium-high heat for about 3 mins.
  10. Reduce heat to medium and cook, covered, until it appears mostly set, with a moist top and center, 3 to 5 minutes more.
  11. Remove lid then broil frittata 5 to 7 inches from heat until set, but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Then top with an even layer of your remaining shredded cheese and continue to broil until browned and bubbling, 1 to 3 minutes (watch carefully).
  12. If using a nonstick skillet, slide the frittata onto a serving plate. If using a cast-iron skillet, cut and serve wedges directly from the skillet.
