How To Make Ina Garten Smoked Salmon Frittata

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F.
2. Sauté the onion: Melt butter in a 10-inch oven-safe omelet pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
3. Prepare the egg mixture: In a large mixing bowl, lightly whisk the eggs. Stir in the heavy cream, goat cheese, smoked salmon, scallions, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Combine in the pan: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed onions in the omelet pan.
5. Bake the frittata: Transfer the pan to the center rack of the oven. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Rest and serve: Let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.

FAQs

Can I use milk instead of cream?
Yes, but the texture will be lighter and less rich.

Is it okay to use cold-smoked or hot-smoked salmon?
Both work well—use your preference. Hot-smoked adds a heartier texture.

Can I add vegetables to this frittata?
Absolutely. Try spinach, asparagus, or bell peppers—just sauté them first.

Why did my frittata deflate?
It’s normal for it to puff in the oven and settle slightly as it cools.
