An Italian style breakfast that is perfect as dinner, a fluffy leek frittata loaded with caramelized leeks and creamy pockets of goat cheese in a crispy hash brown crust. 

Potato Leek Frittata Recipe with Goat CheeseI’m really excited to share one of my favorite breakfasts turned favorite dinner of all times, this leek frittata you guys is outstanding. I mean if you love leeks of course, and eggs and creamy goat cheese all served up on a crispy crust made of hash browns. Does that sound heavenly or what ? 

The only thing that would make this better would be if it actually made itself and landed on my lap before I got out of bed in the morning. I know, what can I say, I dream big kids.

I took a little help from our friends at Hungry Jack, and used their hash browns to make a crispy hash brown golden crust to hold my custardy egg and leek mixture. I can’t even tell ya ! ( you can download a coupon here )

You know leeks and potatoes belong together already, and this leek frittata is undeniable living proof of that. 

You will need to dust off that old cast iron skillet for this one and have it ready to go to work. I really love that I can prepare everything the night before, caramelize the leeks,whisk my eggs, then when breakfast time sneaks up on us I can have this potato leek frittata baking to perfection while i shower.

A frittata is usually the solution to using up any leftovers you might have around, which is absolutely brilliant in my opinion. However when it comes to this leek frittata I would say keep it simple. Let those sweet caramelized leek show off next to the creaminess of goat cheese, there is so much flavor and beautiful texture here that makes this frittata unique, that i wouldn’t change a thing.

Wanna add some sort of protein to this ? Pile it all on top while you serve it, but present your potato leek frittata as is, straight out of your cast iron skillet. I used the original hash browns flavor here but there is a Black Pepper & Onion flavor i’m looking forward to trying soon.

  1. This frittata looks amazing! I love serving eggs this way for dinner, since I don’t usually have the time or energy to prepare something very involved in the morning. Love the addition of the leeks!

  2. 5 stars
    This is breakfast perfection! (I would absolutely eat it for lunch and dinner too though) That hashbrown crust sounds amazing and I’m always looking for more ways to eat leeks. Plus, eggs and goat cheese go SO well together, so this is seriously calling my name. Definitely breaking out my cast iron pan this weekend to try it out. Yummed and pinned!
