Smoked Salmon And Cream Cheese Frittata - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 large eggs
1/2 cup full-fat milk or 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions or 1/4 cup chives
1 pinch dried basil (can use 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil)
salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons oil
2 -3 ounces cream cheese, cut into small cubes
3 -4 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon
red onion, thinly sliced

Preparation

In a bowl whisk together eggs, milk, onions, basil, salt and pepper.
Preheat broiler.
Heat butter or oil in a 12-inch oven-proof skillet over medium heat until hot.
Pour egg mixture into skillet and scatter cream cheese cubes over top.
Cook, lifting up cooked eggs around edges using a spatula to let the raw egg flow underneath until the frittata is set on bottom, and egg is almost set but still moist on top (about 3 minutes).
Remove from heat.
Sprinkle salmon all over frittata, then press lightly, the shake skillet to allow salmon to settle into the top.
Broil about 6 inches from heat for 1 - 1-1/2 minutes, or until set, slightly puffed and golden in spots.
Cool 5 minutes, then loosen edge with spatula, and slide onto a large plate.
Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
