i have 4 eggs, half a leek, stale bread, some parmesan and butter. no oven. dinner for 2 in 20 min? my gf is vegetarian
Yes — make a stovetop leek & parmesan bread frittata. Hearty, vegetarian (with one parmesan caveat), and about 20 min.
Important: Parmesan is often made with animal rennet, so check the label or use a vegetarian hard cheese if your gf is strict. If unsure, omit it or use another cheese.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- ½ leek, thinly sliced and washed well
- 3–4 slices stale bread, torn/cubed
- 30g parmesan, grated
- 2 tbsp butter, divided
- Salt, pepper
- Optional: splash milk/water, extra cheese
Method
- Prep (3 min): Cube bread, slice/wash leek, grate parmesan. Whisk eggs with parmesan, salt, pepper, and a splash of water/milk if you have it.
- Toast bread (4–5 min): Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large nonstick/skillet over medium. Add bread cubes and toast until golden and crisp. Remove.
- Cook leek (4–5 min): Add remaining butter and the leek with a pinch of salt. Sauté until soft and sweet. Spread evenly in pan.
- Assemble & cook (5–8 min): Scatter toasted bread over leeks. Lower heat slightly, pour in egg mixture. Cover with a lid and cook gently until eggs are just set. If the top is still wet, cook 2–3 more minutes covered.
- Rest 2 min, cut in wedges, and serve.
No lid? Use a large plate or foil. Pan too small? Make it as a soft scramble: toast bread, sauté leek, add eggs, stir until just set, then fold in parmesan and bread.
Serve with salad or any greens if you have them.
The catch: Parmesan is usually made with animal rennet, so many vegetarians skip it.
