Smoked salmon frittata
Ingredients:
- 6 eggs at room temperature
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 6 ounces smoked salmon or lox, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 lemon, zested
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 packed cups (2 ounces) arugula
- 1 clove garlic, minced
A few notes on making this:
- This is a super easy and elegant brunch dish that comes together quickly and feels elevated for a holiday meal.
- Sauté the arugula and garlic very lightly—you don’t want the garlic to burn.
- You can use whatever smoked salmon/lox variety you’d like—I prefer wild salmon to farmed.
Directions:
- Put an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350° F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until fluffy, about 30 seconds. Add the cream, smoked salmon, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
- In a 10-inch, ovenproof, nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the arugula and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the arugula has wilted, about 1 minute. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and stir to combine the ingredients. Cook, without stirring for 4 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until set, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Slide the frittata onto a platter. Using a serrated knife, cut the frittata into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
