Method

  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.
  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.

    i used left over potatoes and fried them gently first to give them some colour. also had sliced green beans and peas left from sunday so threw those in too along with spring onions and streaky bacon. you could go on forever with ingredients and have a different version every time. its a great way to get the veg phobic in the house getting some of their 5 a day!

    Nice weekend lunch... I followed the recipe exactly but seasoned it generously and thought it was very tasty. The leek was a nice replacement for onions and the sage came through beautifully.
