Author Notes
Whether it's for breakfast, lunch or dinner, we both love a good fritatta. Many times we take what is in the frig and add it to the ingredients we had planned. It's always delicious! —Tom and Anita Morgan
Ingredients
-
3 ounces
lox or lightly smoked salmon
-
6
eggs (preferrably from pasture raised chickens)
-
2 tablespoons
extra virgin olive oil

3
cloves garlic, chopped small

1/3
red onion, chopped small

1
green jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped small

Directions
-
In a medium bowl, beat eggs, milk, black pepper and crumbled feta cheese together and set aside.
-
Cut the lox into thin strips about 1 inch long.
-
Lightly oil a 10” cast iron pan on sides and bottom over medium-low heat. Add onion and jalapeno and sauté for 2 minutes.

Add the garlic, salmon and capers and cook another 2 minutes or until garlic just starts to get clear.

Reduce to low heat and add the egg mixture stirring until the eggs cook on the bottom and sides.
