Ingredients
- 2 large leeks , white and light green parts only (about 2 cups)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 large eggs
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill , chopped
- 6 ounces hot smoked salmon , cut or flaked into bite-sized pieces
- 4 ounces goat cheese , crumbled
- Diamond Crystal kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F with the rack in the middle position.
- Rinse leeks. Slice each in half lengthwise and then into 1/4-inch half-rounds. Place in a bowl of cold water and swish them around, separating the layers to remove any grit. Let stand for about 5 minutes, then gently remove the leeks from the bowl with a slotted spoon to a colander. The grit will have fallen to the bottom of the bowl - discard. Rinse the leeks a final time and pat dry.
- Heat butter in a 10-inch nonstick, oven-safe skillet until foaming subsides. Add leeks, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until leeks have softened and are just starting to brown, about 5-8 minutes.
- While the leeks are cooking, whisk together eggs and heavy cream in a large bowl. Gently stir in salmon, dill, and half of the goat cheese.
- Reduce heat to medium and pour the egg mixture over the softened leeks. Use a fork or spatula to evenly distribute the salmon, but don't stir the mixture in the pan. Cook just until the sides of the frittata begin to set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle the remaining goat cheese over the top of the eggs. Bake for 18-25 minutes, until the frittata has puffed and the center is just set. It should appear soft and custardy in the center, not liquidy (undercooked) or dry (overcooked).**
- Let the frittata stand for 5 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving.

Notes
- *Smoked salmon can vary in saltiness. If your salmon is very salty, adjust the amount of added salt in the recipe, as needed.
- **Since heat conductivity can vary by the type of pan you're using, and your oven's calibration, I always like to start checking my frittatas a few minutes early so they don't dry out.
