Wild Leek and Dandelion Frittata with Goat Cheese


Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

½ pound dandelion greens, ends trimmed
8 large eggs
8 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled
¼ teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 bunch wild leeks, ramps or large leek (white and tender greens only) thinly sliced and washed
18 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

DIRECTIONS

Fill a large pasta pot three-quarters full with water and bring to a boil. Add the dandelion greens and return to a boil. Boil the greens until they are tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain well.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, goat cheese, and salt.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Add the leeks and red pepper flakes and sauté until browned around the edges, about 3 minutes.

Gently squeeze the blanched greens to remove any excess water. Roughly chop the greens, add them to the skillet with the onions, and saut&eactue; for 1 minute. Add the egg mixture to the pan and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes until the bottom has set. Place the skillet under the brioler and broil 6 inches from the heat source for 6-8 minutes until the frittata is golden brown and cooked through.
