A quick and easy brunch recipe combining smoky salmon and creamy cheese folded into fluffy eggs, perfect for a satisfying and indulgent meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 ounces (115 grams) smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces (115 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 2 medium green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or unsalted butter
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon capers
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, keeping it light due to the saltiness of smoked salmon.
  3. Add softened cream cheese in small pieces and whisk vigorously until mostly smooth, allowing some small lumps to remain.
  4. Gently fold in the smoked salmon slices, chopped dill, and green onions.
  5. Heat olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. When hot, pour in the egg mixture evenly. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until edges start setting but center remains jiggly.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the top is just set and slightly golden. A toothpick or knife should come out clean but the frittata still moist.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  8. Optional: Sprinkle fresh dill or lemon zest on top before serving.

Notes

Soften cream cheese completely before whisking to avoid clumps. Let the frittata base set slightly on the stove before baking to develop a golden crust without drying out. Watch oven time carefully to avoid rubbery texture. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
