Double Cheese Potato Asparagus & Leek Frittata

Makes 1 large frittata: 8 slices 

Ingredients:

For the fillings:

3-4 small/medium Albert Bartlett Rooster Potatoes

1 large leek

1 pack of asparagus (avg. 10)

1tbsp olive oil

1 garlic clove (grated)

=================

For the egg mix (makes approx. 1 pint):

6 medium eggs

100ml milk (any is fine)

70ml double cream

1tsp sea salt

1tsp black (or mixed) pepper

40g strong cheddar (grated)

40g aged red leicester (grated)

Plus a little extra cheese for the top

=================

Preheat the oven: Gas mark 5/190C

Cooking time: 30-40 mins.

Method:

start by preparing the fillings: cut the Albert Bartlett Rooster Potatoes into bite-sized pieces and parboil until soft (approx 10mins). Whilst the potatoes are boiling, slice the leek into rounds and each asparagus into 3 pieces. Wash and then lightly sauté in olive oil, alongside the garlic until soft but not coloured (3-5mins).

 

Once soft, run the potatoes under cold water to stop them cooking, drain and set aside. Allow the vegetables to cool.

 

meanwhile, move onto preparing the egg mix: in a large jug combine all fillings and mix well.

 

Place all cooked and prepared filling ingredients into a non-stick cast iron pan and pour over the egg mix. Sprinkle over the extra cheese and cook for 30-40mins, until the eggs are *just* set. Allow to cool a little before serving. This can also be enjoyed cold, and keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days.
