Welcome to the Church of the Holy Cabbage. Lettuce pray.

Leek, Spinach, and Cauliflower Frittata

I just spent the day helping a friend and a group of strangers clean up a farm destroyed by a tornado that tore through KY last Friday. I’m tired, both physically and emotionally. I have no words for what my eyes saw today. Many folks on surrounding farms have been  left with nothing. My heart aches. However, it does the heart wonders to see a community come together for the good of a neighbor, know or unknown. I don’t even know the owners of the farm but I am glad they are alive; a miracle for certain.
Coming home tonight, I just wanted an easy meal but I wanted more just to sit with my family and remind them of my love.
So here it is, and meal prepared in 15 minutes plus baking time and a great reason to hash the day over with my husband and 3 yet to become men.


Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped leeks (white and pale green parts only)
2 cups chopped spinach
1 cup small chopped cauliflower
7 large eggs
1/2 cup half and half
1/2  cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup small cubed wild garlic Gouda (or more Parmesan)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add leeks  and cauliflower and saute for 6-7 minutes to soften.  Add spinach, sprinkle lightly with salt and saute until tender. Remove from heat.

Whisk eggs, half and half, 3/4 cup cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in bowl.

Place cooked veg  in a baking side 8X10 baking dish or a pie dish. Pour in egg mixture. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup cheese on top.

Bake in oven for 30-35 minutes or until eggs look set. Turn broiler on and broil until cheese begins to bubble and lightly brown;  about 3 minutes.
