Ready In
- Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 450°F.
- Whisk eggs, dill, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Heat oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add leeks; cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add spinach and ham; cook, stirring, until the spinach is wilted, about 1 minute.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cook, lifting the edges of the frittata so uncooked egg can flow underneath, until the bottom is light golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle cheese on top, transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the eggs are set, 6 to 8 minutes. Let rest for about 3 minutes before serving. Serve hot or cold.

This was amazingly quick. I already had leeks ready to go which saved a lot of time. The substitutions I made were: fresh dill instead of dried, chicken instead of ham, and sharp cheddar for the cheese since those were what I had in the fridge. I served it with a side salad and the whole family enjoyed it.
Pros: Quick, Easy, Cheap, Healthy

Delicious
Very flavourful! I was worried that it would be too strong with all the leeks (it calls for a lot) but it blended together very nicely. I did find all the chopping to be a bit of a nuisance, but it was worth it in the end
Pros: Lots of flavour
Cons: Lots of prep work

Perfect Sunday Brunch Recipe
I love frittatas and this was no exception. I use egg beaters instead of real eggs and I cut the salt amount in half. I also normally use low-sodium ham in this and it works well.

Good but needed something extra
It's good but my family and I felt it was missing something. I felt it needed some extra seasoning to really bring out or highlight the flavors. Not sure what seasoning though; perhaps some nutmeg. Might be better with a cheese that has a more pronounced flavor ( I used harvarti.) Will make again and tinker with it.

This was really fast and delicious! I used extra dill and lowfat swiss cheese. I agree with other reviewers that this recipe is really flexible. I'll try it with other cheeses when I make it in the future.

I would only use 6 eggs for serving 6 people and would not add the extra salt...ham and cheese add a lot of salt. If I have them I would add mushrooms. I make many of varieties of this........ the more veg the better.

Well liked by the entire family. The portions were nicely sized as well. Used light Havarti cheese to further reduce the calories. Will definitely make this again.
