It's delicious

Smoked Salmon Frittata tastes really delicious, and the smoked salmon pairs well with gouda, eggs, and fresh dill. By the way, if you don't like smoked salmon, substitute another protein. Bacon or sausage would be just as delicious!

Ingredients

• Olive Oil
• Eggs
• Heavy Cream or Milk
• Salt and Pepper
• Onion
• Zucchini: mushrooms, bell peppers, and yellow squash can be substituted or added.
• Baby Spinach Leaves
• Smoked Salmon: other smoked fish may be used, also smoked sausage, or breakfast sausage.
• Fresh Chives
• Fresh Parsley
• Fresh Dill
• Gouda: regular or smoked tasted wonderful. Swiss or Gruyere also work well.
• Optional for topping: sour Cream

Substitutions and Variations

This frittata is easily adaptable to your tastes and whatever ingredients you have on hand. Feel free to substitute ingredients you don't like. Here are some ideas:

• Use different meats - bacon, ham, chicken, and sausage all work really well. If your meat is uncooked, cook it in the skillet first. Remove meat from the skillet after it's cooked, then proceed with onions and vegetables. Add the meat back in after the vegetables are cooked.
• Try different cheeses. Smoked gouda, swiss, and gruyere all taste amazing with smoked salmon. Try different combinations, but use the same quantity as this recipe calls for.
• Substitute different vegetables. I always use onion but will swap out diced bell peppers, mushrooms, yellow squash, etc., according to what I have on hand. Again, use the same quantity of vegetables as the recipe specifies.
• Play around with herbs. My favorite with smoked salmon is dill and chives. Use what you have on hand, and you can substitute dried for fresh. My rule of thumb for herbs: use 1 teaspoon dried herbs to 1 tablespoon fresh herbs.
• If you don't have chives, substitute green onion.

How To Make A Frittata

Whisk Egg Mixture

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Whisk egg, cream, salt, and pepper together in a separate bowl. Set aside.

Saute Vegetables

In a 10" ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, saute onions and zucchini until soft. Add spinach and stir until wilted.

Add Remaining Ingredients

Reduce heat to medium and add smoked salmon, herbs, and gouda to the skillet.

Add Egg Mixture and Cook on Stove

Pour egg and cream mixture over the top. Continue cooking until the frittata begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, 5 to 7 minutes.

Bake Frittata

Remove from heat and place in oven. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the center is set. 

How to Serve

This frittata recipe is really a one pot meal so no sides are necessary. It works great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. If you do want sides, I suggest keeping it simple. Here are some side items that work well with this smoked salmon frittata recipe:

• Fresh green salad with a favorite dressing - such as blue cheese (which tastes amazing drizzled over the frittata).
• Steamed or roasted green beans, broccoli, or cauliflower.
• Crockpot green beans. These are simple and easy to make and will not overpower the frittata.
• If serving for breakfast, a side of fresh fruit is nice. This option is not keto-friendly but will be appreciated by the other members of your family. 🙂

Top Tips

• You can use a 10" skillet or 12" skillet to bake the frittata in, but the baking time changes slightly. For a 10" skillet, bake for about 16 to 18 minutes; for a 12" skillet, bake for about 12 - 15 minutes. It is done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
• After adding the egg mixture, you will simmer the frittata on the stove just until the sides start pulling away from the skillet. Remember to turn down the heat to medium and keep your eye on the frittata, so it doesn't overcook or burn!
• Frittatas make GREAT leftovers for breakfast or lunch. They reheat well in the microwave, and the flavors seem to blend more the next day.
