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.
