I learnt about frittatas thanks to the British chef Gordon Ramsay, and I have included to my recipes journal because they are easy to make and can come with a large variety. Furthermore, eggs give us a lift and couple very well with the rest of ingredients.
Here, the frittata is influenced by Greek food as the mix spinach, leeks and feta is very common to make the famous spanakopita or σπανακόπιτα qui est une tourte avec ces légumes, des fromages et la pâte fylo. Essayez cette version avec les œufs et vous verrez que c’est bon et rassasiant ! En deux mots :“I am inconsolable to have seen you. Unfortunately! you are the one I love!... I am melancholic of you. I have the strength only to come to you”.
