Ingredients
Scale
Egg Base
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup cream or milk
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Main Ingredients
- 100g smoked salmon, sliced or roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, snipped
- 1 small onion or 2 shallots, finely chopped
Cooking Fat
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Finely chop the onion or shallots and snip the fresh dill. Slice or roughly chop the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add cream or milk, salt, and pepper, then whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Sauté the Onions: Heat olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions or shallots and cook gently until softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes, building a flavorful base.
- Add the Egg Mixture: Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the softened onions in the skillet. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs evenly without stirring. Reduce heat to low and cook gently, allowing the edges to set.
- Add Smoked Salmon and Dill: When the eggs are partially set but still slightly runny on top, scatter smoked salmon pieces and fresh dill evenly across the surface. Allow to cook gently to meld the flavors.
- Finish Cooking in the Oven: Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top, ensuring the center is cooked without drying out.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then slice into wedges. Serve warm and enjoy your fresh, flavorful frittata.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for a fluffier texture.
- Don’t overcook; keep the center slightly creamy to avoid dryness.
- Choose good-quality smoked salmon for best flavor.
- Add delicate herbs like dill at the end to preserve their aroma.
- Use an oven-safe skillet to transition easily from stovetop to oven.
