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
Nice — that's a proper dinner waiting to happen. Stovetop leek & bread frittata (basically an Italian frittata di pane). All in one pan, ~20 min.
Do this:
- Prep the leek (3 min): halve lengthwise, rinse well between the layers (they hide grit), slice thin.
- Cube the bread into rough 2cm chunks.
- Melt half the butter in a nonstick pan over medium. Toast the bread until golden and crisp, 3–4 min. Scoop out.
- Same pan, rest of the butter, add leeks + pinch of salt. Cook until soft and sweet, 5–6 min (splash of water if they're stubborn).
- Beat the eggs with most of the parmesan (grated), salt, plenty of pepper.
- Spread leeks evenly, scatter the bread back in, pour eggs over. Lid on, low heat, 8–10 min until just set — no oven needed, the lid does the work.
- Top with remaining parmesan, cut into wedges, serve straight from the pan.
Key tip: keep the heat genuinely low at the end or the bottom scorches before the top sets. No lid? A plate or foil works.
It eats like a savory bread pudding — the bread makes it filling enough that 4 eggs for two is plenty.
One small heads-up: some vegetarians avoid parmesan (traditional stuff uses animal rennet). If your gf is strict about that, just leave it out and lean on salt, pepper, and butter — still great.
The catch: Parmesan is usually made with animal rennet, so many vegetarians skip it.

- It warns that parmesan is usually made with animal rennet, so it may not suit a vegetarian.
