Instructions (4 steps)

01Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a 7-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with 2 tablespoons olive oil and cook until bubbling. Add the leek and sauté until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 1 more minute.
02In a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with 2 tablespoons pecorino. Add to the skillet and gently stir together with the leeks for 1 minute, to gently scramble them. Scrape down sides of the pan.
03Transfer to the oven and bake until the center of the frittata stiffens (check by gently shaking the pan) and it is fully cooked, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate, and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon pecorino.
