Tips for Fluffy Eggs

Don't overcook! Overcooking eggs makes them rubbery. When you remove the Frittata from the oven, it will continue to cook, especially if you are using cast iron, which retains heat well. You do want it to be set and not liquidy, but keep this in mind so you keep the texture perfect.

How to Freeze and Reheat Potato Leek Soup. You can easily freeze this soup. I recommend puréeing the soup until it's completely smooth if you want to freeze it, as any chunks of potatoes in the soup will have a grainy texture once defrosted. Sometimes there is separation in soup once you freeze and defrost it.

The Frittata Formula

Frittatas are incredibly simple. For every six large eggs, you'll want to mix in ¼ cup of milk or cream, ¼ cup of cheese, and about 3 cups of meat or vegetables. The small amount of milk and cheese keeps the eggs soft and creamy and the meat and vegetables give you endless options.

Use a cast-iron skillet.

I like to use an enameled cast iron skillet, which does not require any pre-seasoning. If you don't have a skillet, go make this breakfast casserole recipe instead.

Leeks, like onions, can become bitter if they're cooked for too long or at too high a heat. Make sure to sauté leeks over medium heat until they are soft and translucent, not browned. Another reason could be using the green parts of the leek, which are more fibrous and have a stronger flavor.

Season leeks with soy, maple, sesame oil, and mirin. Top with sliced garlic and a few knobs of butter around the outside of the pan. Add just enough stock to cover leeks halfway, bring to a boil and pop into over to roast until caramelized and tender when pierced with a knife.

Leek and potato soup needs a good tasty stock to start with, otherwise it is bland. I would not add water to it, as mentioned in the OP.

Leeks provide several nutrients, such as vitamins A, C, and B6. Leeks are very low in calories, but do contain a decent amount of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamins like vitamins A, B6, C, and K, and minerals like copper and manganese.

They are perfect for stocks, soups, roasting, or as the perfect contender to fried shallots. Simply thinly sliced the green leek tops.

Forgetting to add milk or cream.

Without this important addition, frittatas cook up flatter and a bit more dense. Follow this tip: After whisking the eggs together, be sure to whisk in some milk or cream. As a rule of thumb, use 1/4 cup of dairy for every six eggs.

Actually the secret in fine restaurants is to do what the French do - add water. The water will steam during the cooking process and add air. I didn't believe it at first, but was shocked at the results when I tried it. Just a about a tablespoon per egg is enough.

Use A Non-Stick Pan

A non-stick pan is the best way to whip up fresh and fluffy eggs. You shouldn't need to scrub or scrap the eggs off the bottom of the pan, and unless extremely seasoned, any other pan will leave you with more eggs inside it than on your plate.

Don't overdo it with the dairy

It can leave the dish soggy, keep it from holding its shape, and may even prevent your eggs from firming up entirely. To avoid falling into the "too much moisture" trap when prepping your next frittata, always completely drain any fresh ingredients before adding them to your pan.
