Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large fresh eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Main Ingredients

  • 4 ounces smoked salmon, sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup onions or shallots, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup cheese (feta, goat cheese, sharp cheddar, parmesan, or cream cheese), crumbled
  • Pinch of chili flakes or diced jalapeño (for heat)
  • Vegetables such as spinach, cherry tomatoes, or asparagus (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop the dill finely and slice the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces. Dice the onions or shallots and crack the eggs into a bowl. Set everything within reach for smooth cooking.
  2. Sauté the Onions: Heat olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions or shallots and cook gently until translucent and lightly golden to develop a sweet, mellow base.
  3. Whisk the Eggs and Dairy: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a splash of milk or cream, salt, and black pepper until smooth and slightly frothy, ensuring a fluffy texture.
  4. Combine and Cook: Pour the egg mixture over the softened onions in the skillet. Evenly sprinkle the smoked salmon and chopped dill on top. If using cheese, crumble it over the surface. Cook undisturbed on medium-low until edges begin to set but the center remains slightly runny.
  5. Finish in the Oven: Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 10–12 minutes until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top. Remove and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick or well-seasoned skillet to prevent sticking and simplify serving.
  • Cook over moderate heat to avoid browning too quickly and ensure even cooking.
  • Allow eggs to come to room temperature before whisking for fluffier results.
  • Use fresh dill rather than dried to achieve vibrant flavor.
  • Let the frittata rest a few minutes after baking to meld flavors and improve texture.
