Mushroom and Leek Frittata with Singing Brook Cheese
Ingredients:
6 farm eggs
½ cup heavy cream
1 leek, trimmed, split and washed
2 cups sliced shiitake mushrooms
1 Tablespoon bacon
½ cup grated Singing Brook Cheese
Maldon sea salt
To make:
- Pre-heat oven to 325ºF.
- Crack the farm eggs into a bowl and whisk in the heavy cream, making sure that they are well combined, and season with a pinch of Maldon salt.
- Next, in a hot Le Creuset skillet or braising pan, melt the bacon fat. The fat should start to smoke right away.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until they take on a nutty toasted aroma and taste.
- Add the leeks and sweat down for 4-5 minutes just till they glisten and begin to soften.
- Season with Maldon salt and and pour all of the eggs in at one time.
- Reduce the heat to medium and whisk or stir the eggs with a wooden spoon or wire whisk until curds begin to form.
- Place in the oven for 8-10 minutes and cook until the eggs are just set.
- Let the frittata rest for 2 minutes and portion into 6-8 wedges. Garnish with grated singing brook cheese.
- Serve alongside a simple tossed green salad with lemon or apple vinaigrette.
