Bacon and leek frittata
500 g | potatoes, peeled and diced into 2cm chunks |
2 tbsp | sunflower oil |
4 rashers | back bacon, finely chopped |
1 | leek, trimmed, rinsed and thinly sliced |
6 | eggs |
100 g | Cheddar, coarsely grated |
salad leaves, to serve (optional) |
Preheat the grill to high. Boil the potatoes and boil for 10 mins until just tender, then drain. |
Meanwhile, heat the oil over a medium-high heat in a medium, ovenproof frying pan (ours was 24cm), then fry the bacon for 5 mins until crisp. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the leek to the pan and fry for 5 mins until softened, then add to the bacon. Add the drained potatoes to the pan and fry for 1-2 mins. Return the bacon and leeks back to the pan and spread into an even layer. |
Beat the eggs until combined and season. Stir in the cheese, then pour the mixture over the potatoes in the pan. Cook for 3-4 mins over a medium heat, without stirring, then place under the grill for 5 mins, until the egg has set. |
Slide onto a plate and leave to cool for 5 mins before cutting into wedges. Serve hot or cold with a side salad, if you like. |
