This Paleo Mushroom Leek Frittata is easy, delicious, and healthy! Whole30, gluten free, and dairy free.
We eat a lot of eggs so I'm also trying to find new, delicious combinations so we don't get sick of the same thing. I came up with this one and it is so good!
If you're not familiar with leeks, they are similar to onions, but more mild. They are unique because you have to cut them, then wash them because each layer will be filled with dirt. I highly encourage you to try them if you've never had them, but you can use onion in place of it if that's what you have. It will still be delicious!
My biggest tip for cooking eggs is to use parchment paper! I removed it for the pictures, but I also use it or I end up losing a lot of the eggs and clean up is awful. You can make this is a pie dish or a 9x9 pan- either will work great.
You will love how easy this is and how much flavor it has- especially with so few ingredients.

Those are green onions, not leeks. They'll cook differently then huge leeks do.

Hi Susan- did you read the whole post? I talk about leeks and how they're unique. Yes, I topped the eggs with green onion for the picture and I do know the difference.

We never get tired of eggs at our house Jessica! This would be the perfect dinner for us, paired with a nice salad and some crusty bread!
