Directions
- Wash and dry the produce, then start a dressing by mincing the shallot and placing it in a medium bowl.
- Zest and juice the lemon into the bowl with the shallot, then whisk in oil, salt, and pepper to form the dressing.
- Halve half of the grape tomatoes and add them to the dressing; set the remaining tomatoes in a separate medium bowl.
- Trim the roots and dark greens from the leeks, rinse well, slice crosswise into ¼-inch pieces, and add to the second bowl with the tomatoes.
- Preheat an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, then add a splash of oil to coat the bottom.
- Add the tomatoes and leeks to the skillet along with salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and brown around the edges, about 8 minutes.
- Shave the parsley leaves from the stems, mince them, and mix with the grated Parmesan in the reserved bowl. Whisk the eggs with salt and pepper in the same bowl.
- Chop or tear the prosciutto into bite-sized pieces, then add the cooked veggies to the skillet and stir to combine.
- Reduce the heat to medium and pour the egg mixture over the vegetables; cook, lifting the cooked edges so the uncooked eggs flow underneath, until the bottom and sides set but the top is still runny, about 5 minutes.
- Broil the skillet on high in the upper oven rack until the top is set, about 2–3 minutes. Remove and let rest briefly.
- Toss the arugula with the remaining dressing and the chopped tomatoes to make the salad.
- Slice the frittata into wedges and divide onto plates; serve with the arugula salad on the side.
Two tips
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat gently.
- Finish the salad with a squeeze of lemon over the arugula just before serving for a bright touch.
