Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs.
- Add the 1/3 cup of heavy whipping cream to the eggs.
- Whisk the eggs and cream together until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
- Stir in the 1/3 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Be cautious with the salt, as the smoked salmon can be quite salty.
- Add the 1 tablespoon of chopped chives and the 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley to the egg mixture.
- Mix well to ensure the herbs are evenly distributed.
- Chop the smoked salmon into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Gently fold the chopped smoked salmon into the egg mixture.
- Lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- Evenly distribute the egg mixture among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the frittatas are set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Allow the frittatas to cool slightly in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove them from the tin and transfer to a serving platter.
- Optionally, garnish with a few extra chopped chives or parsley.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. These frittatas make a perfect breakfast, brunch, or snack!
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality smoked salmon to enhance the flavor of your frittatas. The better the salmon, the tastier the final dish.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly to introduce air and ensure a fluffy texture.
- Pre-cook your salmon slightly before adding it to the egg mixture to keep it from becoming too moist during baking.
- Use non-stick or well-greased muffin tins or ramekins for easy removal and cleaner presentation.
- Allow the frittatas to cool for a few minutes after baking to help them set before serving.
