Method

  • step 1

    Melt a knob of butter in a medium, nonstick frying pan, then cook the leek for about 5 mins until softened. Meanwhile, cut the potatoes in half, then into slices about ½cm thick. Beat the eggs, season, then stir in the cheese and sage.

  • step 2

    Add a little extra butter to the pan if needed, tip in the potatoes, then the egg mixture. Turn the heat to low, then cook for 10 mins until nearly set. Place under a hot grill, then cook for a couple of mins more until the top is set and golden. Slice into wedges and serve with a green salad.

Really loved this receipe! It's really easy and came out perfectly! As always, I went through the fridge to see what else I could add to use up some bits! I added a red pepper & courgette to the leek & an extra layer of cheese for the top when you grill it! It was lovely & tasty!

Great storecupboard supper dish which makes plenty of leftovers for lunch the following day. I have made this a number of times now and often vary the ingredients to suit what is currently in the fridge.
