Salmon fritatta

I decided to make smoked salmon frittata tonight. Frittata is an Italian quiche. It doesn’t have any crust — so no grains to soak.

I used the recipe from the “Barefoot Contessa” on the Food Network website. I just doubled the butter and instead of using goat cheese (I didn’t have any), I used NT cream cheese (homemade cream cheese — recipe from “Nourishing Traditions”).

It called for 3 scallions, which I knew I had gotten in the CSA box. this week. Not sure if they got thown out or what but they were not in the fridge.

I went out to the garden and lo and behold — the lone scallion I “accidentally” planted a couple of months ago — when I buried my kitchen scraps into the vegetable beds. I just pulled it out of the ground.

The recipe called for three scallions — but I figured we could get away with one.

It came out great!
