Smoked Salmon and Mushroom Frittata


I'm not sure if you are as egg crazy as I am. I have recently discovered eggs to be one of the most nutritious food. Also, the protein in egg white resembles our protein we need in our bodies- hence it also helps in repairs in our cells and muscle tissues.

The other thing I like is that it is a all in one oven dish. The kind you shove it in the oven and forget about for the next 20 minutes and then dinner is done. That kind of perfect.

The picture isn't that pretty, and really, it's not the real frittata. I was so short of time that I didn't even set the eggs on top of the stove. I just baked it.

I added in smoked salmon and mushrooms in it. Paired with a green salad. It's a quick dinner in the making. And if you are looking for something to make for your love ones... this could be it! ;)


Smoked Salmon and Mushroom Frittata (serves 4)
200 grams smoked salmon
8 eggs
1/4 cup of soy or rice milk
salt/pepper
4-5 field or button mushrooms chopped
1 tomato slice

Arrange mushrooms and tomatoes in a oven proof pan. Then arrange smoked salmon. Whisk eggs with milk and seasoning. Pour over veges and smoked salmon and bake in 200C oven for 20-25 minutes till eggs are set!

Happy Valentine's Day!

  1. Oh yes, that kind of perfect...I know, and exactly how I like it. I am also egg crazy and you are so right that egg is so nutritious! Egg yolks is also a rich source of choline that is good for the brain; so now I no longer believe when pple go around talking about high cholesterol in egg yolks cos' as long as we don't overeat, egg yolks is fine.

  4. I like fast quick meal too and this salad looks healthy. Yeah, eggs have been getting a bad rep until recently. Finally I can eat eggs without feeling that it would increase my cholesterol.
