A frittata is a traditional Italian dish similar to an omelet. Like an omelet, a frittata is an egg-based dish cooked in a skillet with the addition of veggies, cheeses, meats, or all three. Unlike an omelet that is folded over and cooked fully on a stove top requiring careful attention, a frittata is started on the stovetop. Still, once the eggs begin solidifying, they finish cooking by themselves in the oven. Omelets typically feed one, maybe two people, but a frittata can feed 6-10 depending on the size of the skillet and the number of eggs used. Having a frittata in your recipe repertoire gives you access to a delicious meal that comes together quickly and can be served anytime you want a light, satisfying meal.
This salmon frittata is no exception. It features tender, flakey Costco frozen salmon fillets that you can cook from thawed or directly from frozen in less than 20 minutes. Gruyere cheese gives this frittata a nutty, salty, rich flavor and the shallots and leeks make every bite delightfully savory.
