List of Ingredients
8 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil or vegetable oil
2 oz cold cream cheese,cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 oz thinly sliced smoked salmon, chopped
Accompaniment: thinly sliced red or sweet onion
Recipe
Whisk together eggs, milk, chives, basil, pepper, and salt
in a bowl.
Preheat broiler.
Heat oil in a 12-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet (if handle
is plastic, wrap it in a double layer of foil) over
moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Pour egg mixture
into skillet and scatter cream cheese pieces on top, then
cook, lifting up cooked egg around edges using a spatula to
let raw egg flow underneath, until frittata is set on
bottom and egg is almost set but still moist on top, 3 to 5
minutes. Remove from heat. Sprinkle salmon all over
frittata, then press on salmon lightly and shake skillet to
allow salmon to settle into top.
Broil frittata about 6 inches from heat until set, slightly
puffed, and golden in patches, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
Cool 5 minutes, then loosen edge with spatula and slide
onto a large plate. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at
room temperature.
Makes 4 servings.
