BROCCOLI AND SALMON FRITTATA

Friday, February 22, 2013

I love eggs. Because I eat so many we have made the permanent switch from “supermarket eggs” to “happy eggs.” Just go with me on the terminology. We made this change probably a year ago now, and I am so so happy that we have. One of these days I’ll ask Dina to do a guest post sharing the difference between the two and how a couple extra dollars can be worth the health benefits for most family’s and their budget. In the meantime I want to share with you all my love for frittatas. I will often times just scramble up some eggs in a small pan, but usually when I’m looking to add some ingredients to the mix I will go the frittata route. I’m not sure if there is a technical way to make a frittata, but this is how I do it (with some of my favorite ingredients):

Broccoli and Salmon Frittata

1 tsp olive oil

1 giant handful broccoli florets

1 small filet wild salmon

5 “happy” eggs

salt and pepper to taste

1: Bake salmon filet with one teaspoon of olive oil in a foil lined pan until done to your liking. For example, 375˚F for 8 to 10 minutes.

2: Chop broccoli into small, bite size florets. Wash and add to bowl.

3: Crack eggs and add to bowl along with flaked salmon and salt and pepper.

4: Whisk until combined well.

5: Heat remaining teaspoon of olive oil in a small pan.

6: Add egg mixture and cook on medium heat for a couple minutes until bottom is set. Do not “stir.”

7: If your pan has a rubber handle, take foil and cover it before putting your frittata in the oven. This prevents the handle from melting.

8: Bake (or broil) your frittata for about 5-6 minutes, or until egg and broccoli are cooked through.

In my humble not-a-cook opinion, so much of making a frittata like this has to do with constant checking on cook times and adjustment of temps. I keep the spices and flavors simple because that’s the way I like them, but if you want to add in some parsley or whatever else strikes your fancy, by all means do so. Enjoy your frittata!

Serves two.
