Potato Leek Frittata – if you love potato leek soup, you are going to love this. Some flavor combinations like this are a match made in heaven.

Some flavor combinations are meant to be. Blueberry and Lemon. Apple and Cinnamon. Tomato and Basil. Chocolate and Orange (that’s probably not that common, but I am officially in love with that combination). Potato and Leek. You can make pretty much anything with these things and they are gonna taste really flavorful. And you just cannot go wrong with them. It is the easiest way to come up with your own creative recipes. Go with time tested classic pairings, try to something different with them. Like with this Potato Leek Frittata. Potato Leek Soup is probably the most common dish you must have heard. I sometimes also make a potato and leek stir fry as a vegetable side and we all love it here. So, when I was thinking of some brunch ideas, I thought why not add some eggs to the classic combo of potato and leek and make this Potato Leek Frittata.

I love making Frittatas and Baked Skillet Eggs when I am entertaining friends for brunch. Eggs are not the best things to make for a crowd, individually. There is no way, I am going to spend all my time in the kitchen making eggs to order for the crowd. With Frittatas, you can get everything ready in the skillet and put them in the oven, when its time for everyone to start eating, that way, everyone gets their hot egg dish and you can enjoy the company of your friends as well.
