Apple and Leek Frittata,I recently purchased The New American Plate a wonderful cookbook filled with dishes with sophisticated flavors that are also healthful lots of lean meats, grains and vegetables. This frittata is my own take on one of my brunch favorites with autumnal flavors that give another reason to love sleepy Sunday mornings. Though usually served hot for brunch or a light supper, it makes a great snack served at room temperature.,Delicious! Although I modified the recipe to utilize ingredients I had on hand, I followed the basics & was delighted with the results. See the Tweaks section to read my adaptation.,I made this dish in a 10 inch cast iron skillet, but adapted it so that I can use what I had on hand. Based upon peachy_pies review, I increased the ingredients and used 6 eggs, 6 egg whites & 2 small apples. (A granny Smith and a Jonathan). I also substituted a medium onion for the leek, since I didnt have one handy. used olive oil & butter in the skillet. Another substitution I made is that used Italian spices, because I didnt have any sage. Finally, at the end, I melted strips of Swiss cheese to the top of the frittata by putting the pan in 375 oven for a couple of minutes. I realize that these adjustments completely modify the original recipe, but I must say it turned out to be most excellent! I cut the frittata into five large pieces, but it easily could have served six. I served the fritatta with country potatoes, and cantaloupe with cottage cheese. My DH said that he was full, but he asked for seconds because it was so delicious. Toni, thanks for the inspiration!!
