Spring Onion & Smoked Salmon Frittata
This recipe transforms the favorite pairing of smoked salmon and cream cheese into a delicious frittata, which also includes green onions and fresh chives.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Tbs. unsalted butter
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 6 eggs
- 3 Tbs. heavy cream
- 2 1/2 oz. smoked salmon, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 oz. cream cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 Tbs. minced fresh chives
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions
In the deep half of an 8-inch frittata pan over medium heat, melt 1/2 Tbs. of the butter. Add the green onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and light golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Stir in the smoked salmon, cream cheese, 1 Tbs. of the chives and the green onion, and season with salt and pepper.
In the deep half of the frittata pan over medium heat, melt 1/2 Tbs. of the butter. Add the egg mixture and cook until the eggs are just beginning to set, about 4 minutes, using a rubber spatula to gently lift the cooked edges and allow the uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
Meanwhile, in the shallow half of the frittata pan over medium heat, melt the remaining 1/2 Tbs. butter. Place the shallow pan upside down on top of the deep pan and flip the frittata into the shallow pan. Cook, covered, for 4 minutes. Remove the deep pan and cook until the eggs are completely set, 2 to 3 minutes more.
Gently shake the pan to loosen the frittata and slide it onto a serving plate. Garnish with the remaining 1 Tbs. chives. Serves 4 to 6.
