Ingredients

  • tablespoons butter, divided
  • 2 medium leeks; white parts only, thinly sliced into half-moons

  • ¼ cup roughly chopped parsley
  • ½ cup grated white cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet. Add leeks and a couple pinches of salt. Sauté until softened, 3–4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk eggs, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
  • Add spinach and remaining ½ tablespoon butter to skillet; cook for about 1 minute, until spinach is wilted.
