Smoked Salmon & Dill Frittata

Frittata is Italy's answer to scrambled eggs, but far more elegant. The key is patience and low heat: we don't scramble it; we let the egg custard slowly set around the filling. Smoked salmon and dill are a classic duo, and with heavy cream, they create a luxurious breakfast.

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Finely chop onion/garlic; tear salmon into bite-sized pieces.

Tip: Don't mince salmon; rustic chunks look and taste better.
2

Whisk eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and dill until frothy.

Tip: Fat in cream prevents eggs from becoming rubbery.
3

Sauté onion in oil until soft. Add garlic at the very end for 30 seconds.

Tip: Burnt garlic is bitter.
4

Add salmon, toss, then pour in egg mixture. Reduce heat.

Tip: Salmon just needs to warm through.
5

Cook on stovetop 4-5 mins until edges set. DO NOT STIR.

Tip: You are setting the bottom crust.
6

Transfer to oven. Bake 5-10 mins until center sets.

Tip: Oven heat cooks it evenly from all sides.
7

Top with cheese, broil 2 mins to melt.

Tip: Cheese browning adds flavor.
