About this Frittata Recipe
Egg recipes offer so many possibilities – different meal styles, different occasions, different flavours and textures.
This frittata is a one-pan recipe that is a complete meal, is protein-packed so is really filling and hearty, and it also has the bonus of being very quick, healthy and delicious.
What you’ll need
- Olive oil
- Broccoli – I use tender stem but normal broccoli is OK
- Frozen peas – I find petit pois preferable
- Smoked salmon
- Eggs – Free range, medium
- Salt and pepper
Substitutions
- Fresh salmon – If you prefer, you could swap out the smoked salmon for fresh. Instead, just steam the fish, remove the skin and flake over the broccoli and pea mixture before adding the eggs.
- Vegetables – This is a really versatile recipe and you can mix and match whichever veggies are your favourites or that you have in the fridge.
Leftovers
In the fridge You can keep this recipe in the fridge for 3 days. It’s perfect to eat cold for a packed lunch or leftovers. Allow to cool, slice, wrap up and refrigerate.
Top tips
Spread the vegetables evenly
Make sure every bite is filled with flavour by making sure everything is evenly spaced in the pan before the eggs start to set.
Salmon
If you’re cooking this with fresh salmon, make sure you don’t overcook it beforehand. Just until it’s turned a solid pale pink throughout is ideal.
FAQ
What should I serve with this?
It depends on what kind of meal you’re making this as. It’s fine on its own or with some crusty bread for breakfast, perfect with salad for lunch, and great with new potatoes for dinner.
What kind of pan should I use?
Read my one-pan pan review here to get an idea. You’ll need one that can safely go on the hob as well as under the grill for a frittata.
What’s the difference between a frittata and an omelette?
With a frittata, the ingredients are mixed together and cooked slowly and evenly on the stove top in a pan until set, then usually finished off under the grill or in the oven.
An omelette is also cooked on a stove but folded over, with the centre not quite as firmly set. There’s also a crustless quiche, which is cooked in the oven instead.

LOVED this! Make it for lunch with a girlfriend and served it with spinach, dill, snap pea and red bell pepper salad with balsamic vinaigrette. Toast with basil pesto on the side (there’s an insane amount of basil in the garden).

Can this be baked ?

Yes, darling, it can.
I changed the recipe in that I used cauliflower (375 grams instead of the combined broccoli and peas) and used 200 grams of baked salmon. I put in dill as well. I baked it in a shallow dish for about 25 minutes at 350F.
Merry Christmas.Reply
