Make this high-protein, low-carb smoked salmon frittata for a sophisticated yet easy brunch. This one-pan dish combines salty salmon, fresh dill, and cream cheese for a festive meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped spinach
  • 4 ounces smoked salmon, chopped
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon capers (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until fully combined. Set aside.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until it wilts, about 2 minutes.
  5. Distribute the chopped smoked salmon evenly over the vegetables in the skillet.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the salmon and vegetables. Gently place the cream cheese cubes over the top of the eggs.
  7. Cook on the stovetop for 3 to 4 minutes until the edges of the frittata start to set.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove the frittata from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh dill and capers, if using. Let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese.
  • This recipe works well as a keto breakfast option.
  • You can substitute fresh chives for dill if you prefer a milder herb flavor.
