4: Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a frying pan on high heat. When hot, add the chopped shallot. Salt and pepper, then cook for 1 minute without colouring.
5: Add the leeks. Mix well.
6: Cook uncovered until the leeks just begin to brown, then salt and pepper. Heat the plates.
7: Pour the beaten eggs over the leeks and leave undisturbed for 1 minute.
8: Use a wooden spatula to draw the egg from the edge in towards the centre of the pan.
9: Continue doing this until there is no more liquid egg left. Take off the heat immediately. It is normal, and desirable, for a little of the egg in the centre of the pan still to be not quite cooked.
