Ingredients
Ingredients for Smoked Salmon Brunch Frittata
- 10 large eggs brought to room temperature
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup leeks thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup red onion thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup shallot minced
- 2 tablespoons chives fresh, chopped
- 2 tablespoons dill fresh, torn, divided
- 8 tablespoons cream cheese cut into small cubes; may substitute 1/2 cup whole milk cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup smoked salmon broken into bite sized chunks
- 1 tablespoon capers rinsed and well drained
- 2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese
optional add-ins
- 1/2 cup leftover hash brown potatoes brought to room temperature
- 2 medium Roma tomatoes sliced 1/4-inch thickness
- 1/4 cup sundried tomatoes well-drained, chopped
- 1/2 cup spinach fresh, chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh English peas
Instructions
The Method
- Preheat the oven to 400° F.
- Place eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, and the Dijon into the barrel of a food processor. Pulse 8 to 10 times or until eggs are frothy and ingredients are well incorporated. Add salt and pepper and pulse 2 more times.
- Add butter to a heavy cast iron or other oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and the red onion and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the shallot and sauté 1 minutes more. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Using a metal spatula, loosen the leeks and onions and shallot is there is any sticking.
- Scatter the chives, half the dill, any add-ins (I am using leftover hash brown potatoes which I have brought to room temperature), the smoked salmon, the cream cheese cubes, and half the capers.
- Pour the egg mixture over the salmon and other ingredients in the skillet. Top with the crumbled goat cheese.
- Cook for 3 minutes over medium heat, undisturbed. Avoid the urge to move or stir the eggs in any way. Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake until the top is golden brown and the frittata is set; about 35 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with the remaining torn dill. Cut and serve warm.
