SMOKED SALMON AND CREAM CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• Whisk the eggs, milk, dill, salt, pepper, and chives together in a bowl. Using two spoons or your fingers, separate the cream cheese into small clumps. Fold the cream cheese and salmon into the egg mixture.
• Heat the oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, and stir lightly to make sure the fillings are evenly arranged in the pan. Cook until the bottom is set, but not brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the top is set, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover, and set aside for 5 minutes.
• Invert the frittata onto a large plate. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

• Sprinkle the chopped onion evenly over the cream cheese.
• Layer the baby spinach leaves evenly and neatly over the onions (I make 4 layers of leaves).
• Spray or drizzle the spinach leaves with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• Cover tightly with foil and bake 25-35 minutes depending on the thickness of your salmon. It takes a little longer than usual because of all the toppings.
