Salmon Fritata

Posted on by Jenny

Well, my friends because I love you (and because we’ve had a lot of eggs around here), here is your savory Salmon Frittata.

I’m kinda hooked on these things, can you tell? They look so much fancier than they are and they are incredibly easy to make. There’s no fancy technique to it, you just sauté, whisk and bake. It’s one of those dishes you can take to a gathering and it looks like you put a lot more effort into it than you actually did. You can also make it ahead of time and then heat it up at a later time. AAAAND it makes for a perfect dinner OR breakfast / brunch item. Do you see why I’m in love with them as of late? They’re so versatile.

And as for taste, it’s solid. Dill, capers, salmon and some creaminess.. you really can’t go wrong. As for the mayo, I slightly altered my Mason Jar Pesto Mayo to make it work. Simply make the mayo base and add dill and capers instead of all of the pesto-y stuff. Hopefully you can figure that one out, I have faith in you people.

Alrighty guys, the girls are about to watch another episode of Sofia so I’ve got to end this here before that starts. If it’s starts and I turn it off there will be a lot of tears and I really don’t want to deal. It’s all about the preventative parenting. And bribes. Lots of bribes.

Enjoy this guys!!
