leek and gruyere frittata

a word about weddings & tradition... :)

i've had a lot of time to think about weddings recently,

as all my friends and family are tying the knot.

if you know me, i love tradition.

i love routine and i love doing the same things every year with the ones i love.

example: those things you always do at christmastime.

be it viewing the neighborhood lights,

watching the same movie,

or decorating christmas cookies.

i love love love that!

some traditions, however, should be rethought.

here are my current two for thought:

1. the purpose of the bridal party and who qualifies

2. your bachelor & bachelorette parties

my thoughts on who should be in the bridal party...

*sisters/brothers & future sisters/brothers in law are a no brainer

*friends that you know you'll be friends with for the rest of your life

*please no random or new friends

*as many or as few as you want

*no, there doesn't need to be the exact same number of boys and girls

my thoughts on the bachelor/bachelorette party...

*the fact that you are celebrating a last night of singleness

totally defeats the purpose of why you are getting married in the first place

*be excited to get married

*think about a JOINT party

*celebrate together with ALL your girl and guy friends that you're about to tie the knot

*no raunchy antics please. we're classier than that.

cheers :)

ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large leek, thinly sliced

kosher salt

pepper

6 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup gruyere cheese

directions

1. preheat oven to 375 degrees

2. heat butter and olive oil over medium heat in a 10" cast-iron skillet.

saute leek slices until soft and jest barely browned, 6-8 minutes.

season with plenty of salt and pepper.

3. meanwhile, beat eggs and milk to combine in a mixing bowl.

pour over the leek slices. sprinkle the top with cheese.

let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until just set on the edges

(it will still be very runny in the middle)

4. stick it in the oven for exactly 8 minutes, it should be just set throughout.

5. enjoy!!

 the frittata is my new go-to in the kitchen.

perfect for a healthy and super easy breakfast.

you can use this basic recipe and change up the

ingredients based on whatever is in the fridge.

DELICIOUS!

have a great saturday! :)
