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 frittata with buttery parmesan croutons. One pan, roughly 20 minutes.
You’ll need
- 4 eggs
- ½ leek, thinly sliced and rinsed well
- 2–3 thick slices stale bread, cubed
- A good handful of grated parmesan
- About 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Beat the eggs with half the parmesan, 1 tbsp water, a little salt and plenty of pepper.
- Crisp the bread: Melt half the butter in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Fry the bread for 5–6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden. Tip onto a plate.
- Cook the leek: Add the remaining butter and leek with a pinch of salt. Cook for 4–5 minutes until soft, adding a splash of water if it starts catching.
- Make the frittata: Turn the heat to low and pour in the eggs. Stir once to distribute the leek, then cover with a lid, foil or a plate. Cook for 5–7 minutes, until just set. Scatter over the remaining parmesan for the final minute.
- Serve in two portions with the crispy croutons piled on top so they stay crunchy.
Vegetarian note: Traditional Parmigiano-Reggiano contains animal rennet. If your girlfriend avoids that, check for a vegetarian-labelled parmesan-style cheese, or simply leave it out and season the eggs well.
The catch: Parmesan is usually made with animal rennet, so many vegetarians skip it.
