Make This Recipe
Ingredients
6 Eggland’s Best eggs, large
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 ounces shiitake mushrooms stems minced fine, caps sliced 1/4” wide
6 ounces red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
3 tablespoons milk, preferably almond or oat milk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces smoked salmon, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
Preparation
- Heat a 10-inch skillet with sloped sides over medium heat. Add olive oil; after 30 seconds, add mushroom caps and bell pepper; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat broiler.
- In a medium bowl, beat together eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon of thyme, and salt and pepper. Stir in smoked salmon. Set aside.
- Add turmeric and black pepper to the skillet, stirring for a few seconds. Stop stirring, and pour egg mixture into skillet over vegetables; mix well.
- With a spatula, press vegetables down into an even layer under the egg mixture. Cook without stirring until eggs are set on bottom, about 5 minutes. (Center will be wet.) Transfer to broiler; broil 4 to 5 inches from heat source 2 minutes or until eggs are set.
- Cut into wedges.
- Drop on spoonfuls of yogurt and sprinkle the remaining one tablespoon thyme over frittata before serving.
Recipe Notes: Crimini mushrooms may replace the shiitake mushrooms but with less savoriness. 2 teaspoons dried thyme may replace the fresh thyme. Crush the dried herb for extra aroma. Lox that is not salty may replace the smoked salmon.
