Canned pumpkin not only enriches this frittata with deep, rich, squash-like flavor but also gives it a creamy, custardy texture that’s more like the filling in a full-fat quiche. Sautéed leeks and kale provide textural contrast and savory notes, and sun-dried tomatoes provide chewy tart-sweet bits. We microwave the tomatoes with a little water to ensure they’re completely plump and tender. If you don’t have a leek on hand or can’t find a good one at your store, you can substitute thinly sliced shallots.
