Instructions
In a 10-in. ovenproof nonstick frying pan or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes.
Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels; reserve 2 tbsp. drippings in pan (discard the rest) and set aside.
Whisk together eggs, milk, chives, salt, and pepper. Stir in bacon and artichoke hearts. Set aside.
Return skillet to medium-high heat.
Add leeks and saut in reserved bacon drippings until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.
Add egg mixture and stir to combine. Cook 1 minute, then gently stir in 1/2 cup fontina and the parmesan. Cook without stirring until edges of frittata are set and the center is still a bit soft, about 2 minutes (edges should appear firm when pan is gently shaken; the top layer should appear wet).
Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup fontina over top and transfer skillet to preheated oven.
Bake until eggs are fully set and the top is light golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. If top has not browned, broil frittata about 5 in. from heating element, keeping oven door ajar, until lightly golden, about 1 minute.
Slice frittata into wedges.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
