Smoked salmon frittata

Ingredients:

• 6 eggs at room temperature
• 1/2 cup whipping cream
• 6 ounces smoked salmon or lox, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 lemon, zested
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 packed cups (2 ounces) arugula
• 1 clove garlic, minced

A few notes on making this:

• This is a super easy and elegant brunch dish that comes together quickly and feels elevated for a holiday meal.
• Sauté the arugula and garlic very lightly—you don’t want the garlic to burn.
• You can use whatever smoked salmon/lox variety you’d like—I prefer wild salmon to farmed.

Directions:

• Put an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350° F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until fluffy, about 30 seconds. Add the cream, smoked salmon, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
• In a 10-inch, ovenproof, nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the arugula and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the arugula has wilted, about 1 minute. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and stir to combine the ingredients. Cook, without stirring for 4 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until set, about 10 to 12 minutes.
• Slide the frittata onto a platter. Using a serrated knife, cut the frittata into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
