Ingredients needed for this Easy Leek and Broccoli Frittata with Gruyère!

How to make this Easy Vegetable Frittata with Gruyère recipe!
This simple vegetable frittata recipe will come together quickly and makes for a delicious breakfast or lunch.
Preheat the oven to 400°.
In an 8″ cast iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add in the sliced leek and the broccoli. Cook the leek and broccoli for 5 minutes, stirring often. Then add in 1/4 teaspoon of rosemary or another herb if you like. Spread the veggies out evenly in the skillet. Once you pour the egg in, you won’t be able to adjust the vegetables.
Whisk the eggs and the milk together until very well combined. Then pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Gently level out the egg mixture so it’s covering all the veggies equally. Sprinkle on the grated cheese and then transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake the leek and broccoli frittata for 15 minutes. The eggs should be set, and the cheese should have started to brown.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven, and slice and serve!
