    Quick Leek Frittata Recipe with Parmesan Cheese! A protein-rich and healthy breakfast, side dish, or light dinner!

    leek frittata with parmesan cheese

    This leek frittata is very fluffy and comes with melted Parmesan cheese – simply delicious! Add some chopped parsley and a thinly sliced mild chili pepper on top; it doesn’t get much better than that! But, wait, the frittata will be on the table in only 20 minutes! Win-Win! 🙌

    Frittata contains a lot of protein and is an excellent choice, especially if you are following a sporty lifestyle. You can serve this egg dish as breakfast, brunch, finger food, or even a light dinner along with this simple green salad. Leek and Parmesan Frittata is also a wise choice if you want to shed some pounds.

    Recipe FAQ & Tips

    Can I keep leftovers? Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or eat cold!

    Can I omit the cheese? Sure! If you prefer a dairy-free frittata, omit the parmesan cheese or go for a dairy-free cheese alternative.
