Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup cooked salmon, flaked
- 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup cheese, shredded
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your frittata cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and add 1/2 cup of milk. Whisk the mixture together until the eggs are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Be careful not to over-salt, as the cheese and salmon will also add flavor.
- Add the 1 cup of flaked cooked salmon and the 1 cup of steamed broccoli florets to the egg mixture. Gently fold these ingredients in until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Stir in the 1/4 cup of shredded cheese, ensuring that it is well incorporated into the egg mixture.
- In a non-stick, oven-safe skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly.
- Cook the frittata on the stovetop for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges start to set and the bottom is lightly browned. You can gently lift the edges with a spatula to check for doneness.
- Once the edges are set, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully cooked and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes. This will make it easier to slice and serve.
- Cut the frittata into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious salmon and broccoli frittata as a nutritious breakfast or brunch option!
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for a smoother, more even mixture that blends perfectly.
- Ensure your salmon is well-flaked and your broccoli is steamed to tender-crisp perfection before adding to the eggs.
- Choose a high-quality non-stick, oven-safe skillet to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Don't overmix the eggs – gentle folding preserves their light, fluffy texture.
- Let the frittata rest for a few minutes after cooking to help it set and make cutting easier.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like feta or goat cheese for unique flavor profiles.
- For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like dill or chives before baking.
