wp-content/uploads/2013/12/ham-and-leek-fritatta.jpg

In the unlikely event that you’ve got leftover ham, this is a nice idea for a lazy Boxing Day lunch.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup olive oil
1 leek, white part only, thickly sliced
8 eggs, lightly whisked
1/2 cup (125ml) cream
1/2 cup (40g) finely grated parmesan
100g gruyere cheese, cut into small cubes (can substitute with Swiss cheese or Jarlsberg if easier)
150g leg ham, chopped
50g rocket leaves, finely shredded

Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C.
Heat half the oil in a medium frying pan over low heat. Add leek and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until soft.
Combine eggs, cream, parmesan, gruyere, ham, rocket and leek in a medium bowl.
Heat remaining oil in a 20cm heavy-based ovenproof frying pan over low heat.
Add egg mixture and cook for 3-4 minutes or until eggs are starting to set on the bottom.
Transfer frying pan to oven and cook frittata for 20 minutes or until just set.
