Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 medium red onion, diced
- 12 large egg whites (about 360g)
- 6 ounces smoked salmon, torn or sliced into bite-size pieces
- 4 ounces soft goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained and roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped dill, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Get ready: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Sauté the onion: Heat the oil in a 10-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat. Toss in the diced onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions should soften, begin to brown on the edges, and smell sweet.
- Mix the eggs: While the onions are cooking, add the egg whites to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until frothy, about 30 seconds. Stir in the salmon, goat cheese, capers, dill, and black pepper.
- Cook the eggs: When the onions have softened, pour the egg and salmon mixture into the pan. Cook, undisturbed over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
- Bake the eggs: Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until the frittata has set. The frittata will have puffed slightly and the center should be firm.
- Serve: Let cool for a few minutes, then slice into 8 pieces. Serve with a garnish of fresh dill.

Notes
- Frittata will keep in your fridge for 3-4 days. To store leftovers, allow it to cool to room temperature. Wrap tightly in plastic or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
- To tell if your frittata is set, use the "jiggle test." if the center of the frittata jiggles when you shake the skillet, it needs to cook longer.
