Make
- Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
- Heat a 10.5” to 12” (26 cm to 30 cm) oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. (Note: skillet size is for 4 servings. If customizing, use a larger or smaller skillet, or you can transfer the cooked filling to a muffin tin and top it with the egg mixture before baking.) Add butter and then leeks with a pinch of salt. Saute until soft, ~5 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and corn and saute until most of the moisture from the tomatoes has cooked off, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add Italian seasoning and saute for 1 minute more.
- Pour eggs over vegetables and stir to combine ingredients. Crumble goat cheese over top of frittata.
- Bake frittata until set in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Toss lettuce, plums, and sunflower seeds with vinaigrette until dressed to your liking.
- Slice frittata. Serve with yogurt on top and salad on the side. Enjoy!

Really tasty and super easy and quick. I used my favorite fancy goat cheese with lavender and fennel and it made it taste very elegant :)

So simple and delicious! Added some chopped spinach to the frittata because we had it. Used extra goat cheese, really liked the corn in there! We used 8 eggs for 4 servings
0 HelpfulUsed shallots instead of leeks because I had them on hand. Made the muffin version and added strawberries and feta to the salad with the plums. Delicious!!! Will Maeve again soon.
0 HelpfulReally liked how the veggies (corn!) came out in this. Used a big cast iron pan (14 in) because we made 6 servings, and the eggs set right on time.
0 HelpfulI really liked this frittata, and amazingly it didn't stick in my cast iron! I used green onion instead of leek, and feta. Salad dressing was a winner.
0 HelpfulYummy summer dinner. I used some garden fresh veggies - added some pea pods. Used feta. Loved it. Also served it with cinnamon raison english muffins to make it more filling. Yummy dressing! Will save and make again.
