Everything Bagel Frittata

I love a good smoked salmon bagel sandwich, especially if it’s an everything spice bagel.

But since I went gluten-free, those bagels are off-limits.

So I still wanted all the good stuff from the bagel sandwich – smoked salmon, red onion, capers, even cream cheese – just without the actual bagel.

So a frittata it is! And a “frittata” is kind of like an Italian version of baked eggs. They’re quick and easy to whip up and you can make them so many different ways.

And I know it might sound weird to mix things like capers into eggs, but it works so well! They just a little salty, briny bite to contrast the smooth, creamy eggs.

Plus anything topped with everything bagel seasoning (a blend of black and white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion and salt) has to be good.

So now you can get all the fun parts of a smoked salmon bagel sandwich, only in a much healthier version!

What you need for this Everything Bagel Frittata

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup diced onion (from about 1/4 of an onion)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 3 oz. smoked salmon
  • 1/4 cup regular or dairy-free cream cheese (omit for Whole30)
  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel spice seasoning (sometimes called everything but the bagel spice)
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil, olive oil, butter or ghee
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Equipment:

 

a slice of a cream cheese frittata with smoked salmon on a black spatula, above the whole frittata

How to Make this Everything Bagel Frittata

This smoked salmon frittata is a low carb breakfast that’s so simple to make!

Sauté the red onion in the oil over medium heat until softened.

Whisk the eggs with the salt and some black pepper until smooth.

Add the capers to the eggs and pour into the pan.

Add pieces of smoked salmon and cream cheese (omit for Whole30; I didn’t use it for these photos) throughout the frittata, pushing down gently so they don’t stick up too much.

Cover, turn the heat down to medium low and let it cook so the edges and bottom set.

Uncover and broil for 3-4 minutes to cook it through, rotating the pan 180° halfway through the cooking time, if possible.

Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, let it cool for 5 minutes and you’re all set!

Make ahead instructions

The frittata can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days. Leftovers can be served cold or room temperature.

I do not recommend freezing this frittata

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or ghee
  • ¼ cup diced red onion (from about ¼ onion)
  • 6 large eggs
  • ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 3 oz. smoked salmon (if doing Whole30 make sure there's no added sugar)
  • ¼ cup regular or dairy-free cream cheese (check ingredients for Whole30)
  • 1 tablespoon everything spice mix

Instructions
 

  • Add the avocado oil to a 10" nonstick skillet and place over medium heat.
  • Once the fat is hot, add the diced onion and saute until softened, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, beat the eggs with the salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Stir in the drained capers.
  • Once the onions are soft, add the eggs to the pan. Stir everything around so the onions and capers are distributed evenly. Rip off small pieces of the salmon and place throughout the frittata, also distributing evenly, pushing down gently so they don't stick up too much. Use a spoon to add little blobs of cream cheese throughout the frittata in the same way.
  • Cover and turn the heat down to medium low to let the bottom and edges of the frittata set. Turn on your broiler.
  • Uncover and broil for 2 minutes, rotate the pan 180 degrees and broil for 2 more minutes, or until the top is set and a knife gently pushed into the middle comes out clean.
  • Remove from the broiler and sprinkle the everything spice mix. Let the frittata rest for 5 minutes so it fully sets before slicing and serving.

    What a genius idea! I used to love those everything keto bagels until my body was like “NO MORE DAIRY”. This is the perfect substitute and so much more filing with all the protein.
