In keeping with breakfast recipes (see last weeks delicious 'big pancake')... I introduce you to Martha Stewart's Anytime Fritatta.
Big pancake wasn't your thing last week? Too sweet? (if you answered 'yes' to that, I can't help you) No matter, this is EVERYONE'S thing. Unless you're vegan.
This is easy, it's quick (prep your potatoes the night before) and it's delicious. Great meal for guests, or to keep all to yourselves on a lovely Sunday morning. (Mmm, monday morning leftovers!)
Anytime Fritatta
from Martha Stewart Living
Serves 8
1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup water
4 leeks (about 1 pound), white and pale-green parts only, rinsed well and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Coarse salt
8 large eggs plus 2 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese, drained
1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Brush a 9-inch square baking dish with oil. Bring water to a simmer in a medium skillet over high heat. Add leeks, garlic, and potatoes; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, covered, until potatoes are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool.
Whisk together eggs, whites, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the cayenne. Fold in potato mixture and ricotta. Mix in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Pour mixture into dish, and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Bake until edges are set, about 12 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees, and bake until set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
Let cool for 10 minutes. Cut into 8 squares.
Guten appetit!

Hey there - did you see my email about being the winner of the Flip Video Camera? Let me know where you want me to send it! Thanks and Congrats!!
Laura - I can't seem to find a place to contact you! I saw your post on Dine and Dish and came to your blog.
I'm veg too. As such I think you need a little promotion, as it were. I would like to offer my help in giving your blog a little makeover, if you are interested. I can show you a few I've done - don't worry, I mean for free (as long as you promise to be patient while I try to juggle my little one and life). If you are interested shoot me an email or contact me via my blog!
Seems this is your winning day with Kristen's comment too!
You had me at leeks! Oh, I love them.
