"Light, subtle flavor. From "Seasonal Food" by Susannah Blake. Try to find sun-dried tomatoes that are not packed in oil, or dry your own tomatoes."

This recipe received mixed reviews in my house. Men liked it but the women did not. Felt like there was something missing from this recipe. -
A very nice light supper. The flavors are great. Instructions are spot on. Served with toast and steamed asparagus. Made for Spring 2011 PAC game. -
We made this when our vegetarian friend came over for dinner, and everyone loved it! We dried our own tomatoes in the oven...this was nice and light, and the flavors went together really well! I LOVE the leeks in this! Will make this again. -
The recipe was reduced to 2 servings and cooked completely on top of the stove by covering the skillet, allowing the eggs to set and then flipping into a plate and gently sliding it back into the skillet to cook/brown the other side. This was served with sourdough biscuits and sliced bacon for a nice brunch treat. Made for *PAC Spring 2009* -
Although we usually have frittatas with sausage or some other meat, I wanted to stick to the veggie bit here & it turned out really well! Very easy to prepare & easy enough to serve as long as I served it right out of the skillet ~ Don't ask, but do be prepared with patience & the right size tool! Served it with slices of toasted, dense wheat bread! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees at the tail end of this Spring's PAC]
