Smoked Salmon Frittata

Yield
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives, divided
8 large eggs
1/3 cup sour cream [75 g]
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons butter
6  ounces smoked salmon, cut into strips [168 g]
2 ounces cream cheese, cut into small pieces [56 g]
1/4 cup chopped red onion [57 g]

Preparation
Whisk together 2 tablespoons chives, eggs, sour cream, and mustard in a large bowl.

Melt butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; add egg mixture. As egg mixture starts to cook, gently lift edges with a spatula and tilt pan so uncooked portion flows underneath. Cook 6 to 8 minutes or until uncooked egg mixture no longer flows underneath cooked mixture. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with salmon, cream cheese, and onion.

Broil frittata, 3 inches from heat, 3 minutes or until set and cream cheese begins to melt. Remove from oven, and sprinkle with remaining chives. Cut into wedges, and serve immediately.
