Florentine Salmon Brunch Frittata Recipe
A hearty yet healthy brunch frittata that yields easily to substitutions. In place of spinach, think broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, zucchini. In place of vermicelli use other pasta shapes. Cheddar, mozzarella or goat cheese in place of Swiss. Other fresh herbs (basil, rosemary) in place of dill.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 3 cups chopped fresh spinach
- 3 ounces fresh mushrooms
- 2 cups cooked vermicelli
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)
- 4 ounces smoked salmon, cut in slivers
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill (I used 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or red pepper flakes to taste)
- Salt & pepper to taste (optional)
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
Directions
- In an ovenproof skillet, heat oil and cook onions, garlic and bell pepper about 5 minutes, stirring often. Add spinach and mushrooms and cook 2 minutes more. Remove from heat, add pasta and toss lightly.
- In large mixing bowl whisk together eggs, then add ricotta or cottage cheese and mix well. Gently stir in salmon, dill, lemon juice and zest, cayenne, and optional salt and pepper. Pour over pasta and vegetables in skillet and stir gently to combine.
- Preheat oven broiler.
- Cover skillet and cook on stovetop over medium-low heat until eggs are nearly set and sides of frittata begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
- Uncover, sprinkle with Swiss cheese and place under broiler 4 inches from heat source until cheese is melted and just begins to brown, about 1 or 2 minutes.
- Remove from broiler and allow to stand 5 minutes before cutting.
