Servings: 4 people
Calories: 218kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
- 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 (check ingredients for Paleo/Whole30)
- ¼ cup regular or dairy-free cream cheese (such as Kite Hill for dairy-free/Paleo/Whole30)
- 1 tablespoon everything spice mix
Instructions
- Heat the oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the salt and some black pepper until smooth.
- Stir the capers into the eggs and pour into the skillet. Stir everything around so the onions and capers are distributed evenly.
- Tear off bite-sized pieces of smoked salmon and distribute throughout the frittata, pushing down gently so they don't stick up too much. Repeat with small spoonfuls of the cream cheese.
- Cover the pan, turn the heat down to medium low and let it cook so the edges and bottom set. Turn on your broiler.
- Uncover the pan and broil the frittata 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 then dig in!
Notes
Nutrition note: The nutritional info used regular cream cheese, not dairy-free.
See post for low carb and keto information.
Substitutions
You can use a yellow onion instead of red.
You can omit any part you don’t like - the capers, cream cheese, etc.
If you omit the cream cheese, you can add ¼ of your favorite milk to add a creamy texture to the eggs.
You can add ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes if you want a bit of spice.
Make ahead
Like almost all frittatas, this is delicious warm, room temperature or even cold.
It can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freezer instructions
I do not recommend freezing this.
