Smoked Salmon Frittata
Simple, but with a rich flavour, this frittata is great for a special weekend breakfast or brunch, or serve with a big crunchy salad for a quick lunch or evening meal. Great cold for picnics and lunchboxes too.
Ingredients
- 5 large eggs
- 1 tbsp soured cream or creme fraiche or milk
- 0.5 tbsp chives finely chopped
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 100 g smoked salmon in bite size pieces
- 0.5 tbsp olive oil
- 10 g butter
- 20 g garlic & herb soft cheese or other cheese
Instructions
-
In a bowl, lightly beat together with a fork: the eggs, soured cream, chives, a pinch of salt and some black pepper. Stir in the smoked salmon.
-
Put the olive oil and butter in a non stick frying pan approx 22cm in diameter. Heat until the butter is foaming.
Preheat the grill to high.
-
Pour the egg and salmon mixture into the frying pan then dot with the cheese.
-
Cook until the bottom of the frittata is set and golden, occasionally lifting the edge so that some of the egg runs underneath to cook.
-
Remove the pan from the heat and place under the hot grill until the frittata is risen and the top is set and golden.
Set aside a few minutes before cutting into wedges and serving with a crunchy, mixed salad.
