A creamy smoked salmon and cream cheese frittata topped with crunchy everything bagel seasoning, perfect for an easy and flavorful brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 6 oz (170 g) smoked salmon, sliced
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk or cream (whole milk or half-and-half recommended)
  • 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp butter or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, crack 6 large eggs. Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) of milk or cream. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Cut 4 oz (115 g) of softened cream cheese into small cubes. Gently fold these into the egg mixture using a rubber spatula.
  4. Season the eggs with salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill. Add salt sparingly due to the saltiness of smoked salmon.
  5. Heat 1 tbsp of butter or olive oil over medium heat in an oven-safe skillet.
  6. Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet.
  7. Tear 6 oz (170 g) of smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and scatter evenly over the eggs in the skillet. Cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until edges start to set but center remains runny.
  8. Sprinkle 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning evenly over the top.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until puffed, set in the center, and slightly golden on top.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do not overbeat the eggs to avoid a rubbery texture. Use softened cream cheese for better blending. Watch salt levels due to smoked salmon and seasoning. Let the frittata rest after baking for easier slicing. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and milk with dairy-free alternatives. Everything bagel seasoning is essential for the signature crunch and flavor.
