Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 100 grams smoked salmon, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Whisk together eggs and milk or cream until smooth and slightly frothy. Chop the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces, finely chop fresh dill, and thinly slice the red onion.
- Sauté the Onion: Heat olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onions and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes, to bring out natural sweetness.
- Add Eggs and Salmon: Pour the egg mixture over the softened onions in the skillet. Evenly sprinkle smoked salmon and chopped dill on top, then season with salt and pepper. Let cook undisturbed for a few minutes until the edges begin to set.
- Cook the Frittata: Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes until fully set and slightly golden on top. Alternatively, cover the pan and cook gently on the stove until firm.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the frittata from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs and dill for optimal flavor and texture.
- Avoid overbaking to prevent the frittata from becoming rubbery.
- Choose an oven-safe, non-stick skillet for easier cooking and cleanup.
- Bring eggs and milk to room temperature before mixing for even cooking.
- Let the frittata rest a few minutes before slicing for clean edges.
