A quick and easy creamy smoked salmon and dill frittata with goat cheese, perfect for brunch or a light dinner. This flavorful dish combines smoky salmon, tangy goat cheese, and fresh dill for a deliciously memorable meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 6 oz smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup whole milk or half-and-half (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Finely chop the shallot and dill. Slice the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces. Crumble the goat cheese.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1/4 cup whole milk or half-and-half, a pinch of salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in an oven-safe 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the softened shallots and cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until edges start setting but center remains runny.
  6. Gently scatter smoked salmon pieces, crumbled goat cheese, and chopped dill evenly over the eggs.
  7. Cook for another 2 minutes on medium-low heat until the bottom sets without burning.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the frittata is puffed, golden on top, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffiness. Avoid overbeating eggs to prevent dryness. Cook on medium-low heat before baking to avoid burning. Tent with foil if top browns too fast. Rest frittata before slicing for cleaner cuts. Substitute coconut milk and dairy-free cheese for a dairy-free version. Fresh dill is preferred but chives or tarragon can be used as alternatives.
