A quick and elegant frittata featuring smoked salmon, creamy goat cheese, and fresh dill, perfect for a nourishing breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs (room temperature recommended)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 6 ounces (170 g) smoked salmon, sliced or torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 ounces (115 g) goat cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 small shallot, finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, crack 8 large eggs. Add ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream, a pinch of salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Whisk vigorously until smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the finely diced shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent and soft. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the 6 ounces (170 g) smoked salmon pieces to the skillet, stirring gently to combine with shallots and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm through.
  5. Pour the egg and cream mixture over the salmon and shallots, tilting the pan to distribute evenly. Cook undisturbed over medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes until edges start to set but center is still runny.
  6. Sprinkle 4 ounces (115 g) crumbled goat cheese and 2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill evenly over the top. Add 1 teaspoon lemon zest if using.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the frittata is set in the center.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffier texture. Cook eggs over medium-low heat before baking to avoid rubbery texture. Check the frittata a few minutes before baking time ends to prevent overcooking. Use an oven mitt when handling the hot skillet. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and goat cheese with a dairy-free alternative.
