- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
- 4 ounces smoked salmon, sliced or chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces
- Fresh dill sprigs (for garnish, optional)
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your frittata cooks evenly and helps set the eggs perfectly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1/4 cup whole milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined and frothy.
- In a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 small finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned.
- Add 1 cup of chopped baby spinach to the skillet and stir for about 1-2 minutes until wilted.
- Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the sautéed onions and spinach. Gently stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Next, add 4 ounces of sliced or chopped smoked salmon and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill (or 1 tablespoon dried dill) on top of the egg mixture. Don’t stir; let it sit on top for a beautiful presentation.
- Dot the surface with 1/2 cup of softened cream cheese cut into small pieces, distributing it evenly across the frittata.
- Cook on the stovetop for about 4-5 minutes until the edges start to set.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the frittata is puffed and the center is just set.
- Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
