Oven-Baked Leek Frittata is a wonderful dish to use up leftover leeks. Add plenty of cheese and bake or pan fry for a filling meal anytime of day.

Leek is mostly used to make Leek with Olive oil in Turkish cuisine, which is generally served cold. It’s one of the most popular dish in winter and it’s made almost every week in Turkish kitchens. If you have feta and kasar or mozarella, you don’t need any magic to create a mouthwatering recipe! As a big fan of cheese, I can eat anything based on cheese and love to use it in lots of ways. Personally I think cheese is a must in fritters or frittatas and in savory pies. So I recommend you to be really generous when adding cheese in these dishes. The best thing about frittata is that you can serve it in slices, just like a pie or Turkish borek. This makes it a great food for picnics, parties or lunch boxes! You can keep these in an airtight container for 2 days and it’s still great when cold, but you can heat it in oven before eating if you like.
