I’ve already espoused the wonder of the frittata for a quick breakfast, so I won’t get into it again. Instead, I’ll talk about how I found Everything Bagel seasoning at Costco, bought it on a whim, and then realized I had no idea what to do with it. I know some people who sprinkle it on practically everything, but I’m not THAT much of a fan. I knew I wanted to use it on something, though, and that something turned out to be yet another frittata.
This one is fairly customizable. If you want, instead of using the smoked salmon cream cheese, use regular cream cheese and add some lox later. I’d highly recommend not cooking the lox and putting it on individual slices as it’s served or after you reheat it. If you don’t like capers, leave them out, and if you really do, use more. I probably would have used more than a tablespoon, but I ran out.
Start by melting a tablespoon of butter into a nonstick skillet over medium heat. While you’re doing that, whisk up a dozen eggs with a half teaspoon of salt and black pepper to taste. If you want additional fat macros, add some heavy cream here, just make sure you calculate the nutritional info to reflect it. Pour the eggs in the skillet once the butter is melted and bubbly.
Using a 7-ounce container of smoked salmon flavored cream cheese, place dollops of cream cheese all around the frittata until you use it all. Sprinkle a tablespoon of drained capers over the top of the frittata as well. Once it’s set on the bottom but still liquid on top, wrap the handle to the skillet in aluminum foil at least three times if the handle is plastic, and place it under a preheated broiler. Broil until the eggs are set and the top begins to turn golden brown. For me this usually takes about two minutes, but keep an eye on it either way.
Once it’s out of the oven, immediately sprinkle it with your desired amount of Everything Bagel seasoning, and serve. If you want, this one does fine in the fridge all week. I make it on Sunday and eat it for breakfast until Friday.
