Smoked Salmon Frittata. Simple. Elegant. Delicious baked omelet.
Smoked Salmon Frittata is a breakfast you will love.
The French have their omelets, but the Italians have Frittata. The ingredients are basically the same, but the preparation method varies. A frittata is cooked open face over low heat until it is nearly set. Then it is placed under the broiler for the final cooking. None of that folding over that an omelet requires. I use a 10" cast iron skillet to make frittatas.
You can freely substitute any vegetable or meat fillings to create your own unique breakfast (or anytime) entrée. I usually start by checking out the refrigerator to see what's there. I found smoked salmon! Hence this dish.
