I have made this recipe a couple of times and I have enjoyed it each time. I have not changed anything in the recipe just used a few shortcuts by using prechopped onions other than that I kept everything the same. I thought it was pretty tasty.
Smoked Salmon and Onion Frittata
You can make the onion mixture for this dish up to two days ahead of time. Refrigerate it in an airtight container, then bring the mixture to room temperature before assembling the frittata. Serve with cut-up fruit and toasted bagels with cream cheese. We call for baking the frittata in a cast-iron skillet; nine-inch pie plate also works.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 wedge)
