Pancetta, Leek & Goats’ Cheese Potato Frittata

Ingredients

New Potato400 g
Pancetta130 g
Leek2
Garlic Clove4
Fresh Thyme15 g
Egg6
Soft Goat’s Cheese150 g
Olive Oil
Salt
Black Pepper
Green Salad

Method

1

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Cut the new potatoes into 1cm rounds. Drop into the boiling water and cook for 6 mins, then drain into a colander and leave to steam dry.

2

Meanwhile, tip the pancetta into a large, ovenproof, high-sided frying pan with a splash of olive oil set over a medium-high heat. Fry, stirring occasionally for 6-8 mins until the fat has rendered and the pancetta is crisp.

3

Halve the leeks lengthwise, wash, then finely slice. Add the leeks to the pan with the pancetta, along with another 2 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally until the leeks have completely collapsed and softened.

4

Heat your grill to high.

5

Meanwhile, finely chop the garlic cloves and strip the thyme leaves from the sprigs. Crack the eggs into a jug and whisk well with a fork until the yolk and white are fully combined. Season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper.

6

Add the garlic and thyme to the pan with the leeks, cook for 1 min more, then tip in the potatoes. Cook, stirring for a couple more minutes, then press everything into a compact layer and pour in the beaten egg.

7

Swirl the pan so that the beaten egg is evenly coating all the filling, then dot the goats’ cheese across the top. Slide the frittata under the grill for 4-5 mins until the egg has just set with the slightest wobble in the middle. Leave until cool enough to slice and serve with a balsamic-dressed salad. Yum.
