Leek & Goat Cheese Frittata

This frittata comes together in a jiffy and can be served warm, room temperature or cold. Serve with a simple arugula salad, dressed with lemon juice and olive oil. It's a great quiche substitute, as it is both carb and gluten-free. Experiment with different fillings - the sky is the limit!
