Mini Herb Frittatas with Smoked Salmon
The frittatas can be baked up to 3 hours ahead.
Ingredients
-
20 large eggs, lightly beaten
-
1/2 cup crème fraîche, plus more for topping
-
1/3 cup finely chopped tarragon
-
1/3 cup finely chopped dill, plus small sprigs for garnish
-
1/3 cup finely chopped chives
-
4 scallions, white and tender green parts only, thinly sliced
-
Salt and freshly ground pepper
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
1/2 pound thinly sliced smoked salmon, cut into 1-inch strips
Direction
-
Preheat the oven to 325°. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the 1/2 cup of crème fraîche, the tarragon, chopped dill, chives and scallions. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
-
In a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add half of the eggs and cook over moderately low heat, stirring gently, for 5 minutes; keep the heat low enough so the eggs do not begin to scramble. Cook the eggs, undisturbed, for 5 minutes longer. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the eggs are set around the edges and just firm in the center.
-
Loosen the sides of the frittata with a spatula and gently turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining oil and eggs.
-
Cut the frittatas into 1-inch squares. Garnish with the crème fraîche, salmon and dill sprigs and serve at room temperature.
